The stuff of stars




1.

Still air seeping in through the attic window.

A hyacinth waiting to be planted.

These days and memories tied together with the knots

that sailors make.

My coffee cup rests easy in the palm of my hand.

A thousand books ( almost ) need reading.

2.

Outside, the laughter of a girl hangs in the air

like a kite over the sea.

I think of all I need to do today

in this busy busy season.

This heart of mine  longing to kiss the mouths of angels.

Wanting  to learn the stuff of stars.

To love you and let you know I do,

in the only way I know how.

From the safety of angels wings.

And all the while breathing breathing,

peace,

peace be with you.

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
