The Wand

Effervescent from
Intentional breath
Core of Life and Love
Floating
Overseeing creation 
as God’s child
From dormant to vast  
They expand as the the peacock’s plumage

Hailing celebration
Breath brings Bubbles

With abandon and laughter
on the wind of the universe
They trust its dance and 
freedom to make us smile
for no reason, our eyes span the  Heavens

With precision timing, unknown, they burst
Manifesting within seconds
Their Glory and purpose: JOY

How did he know that
the bristling brush would
unwind past thoughts
bringing her into the present?

How did he know that
her shoulder
had not been touched by the sun
or by a hand in many moons?

There was  no need for him to know
Nuturing was innate and reflected
built upon the sun setting on the
horizon

SARASOTA

A cry in the wilderness heard

Echoing through endless scattered and spaced leaves

Moist fervent undergrowth clings to ancient footsteps

Sweetly singing

Breathing softly

 I am here   I heard you

 I see you    I am delighted your shadow faded

Your lightness catching rays of sunshine and the 

brillance of rainbows

Whirling on the ground, dancing with

my dervish youth

The cascade of possibilites broken into

sparkling shards of adventures

We may rise to the heavens and back

We may be still   grounded in acceptance

of this time and space

Spurred with imagination and divine icing of grace

I reach heavenly

Remembering my African name, Mawenda

I ask yours once again

I never forgot

Cries the Sky

She dangles the bough
close enough to taste
Skirting away the moment
I almost catch it

She casts greens to golds
and shimmering stones to ice
 I glide across in surprise

She cries in uneven cadence
whispering her power and majesty
from the clouds and sea
I am spellbound

I cry
My gratidtude great and gaining
bold and splattering grains of sandy
patterns upon my lips and soul

She cries
I arise
