For a moment
The silence had roots
And clung to me like
A light cloak
With a bed of stars
Gleaming in its velvet folds
Black, purple, light
Settling in for
A deep night.
And I breathed,
Again,
Deeply.

Day One ‘14
Still night before dawn,
My thoughts gain clarity
In the sound of rain thudding on tin roof
Like after-thoughts jolting me awake
Trying to find relevance:
The dog is restless and needs to go out.
How can I get through the day without coffee?
Today is a friend’s birthday.
I don’t think I’m ready.
The rain draws me back into her intensity,
Steady with beauty And birdsong,
“You’re ready. You’re ready.”
