Singing with the Stars

Stars burning above,

she sang and the song reached

the fires of the sky.

Harmonies sailed down

in the voices of moonlight.

As she walked among

winter hills of the earth,

she sang with the stars.

Thread of Life

I saw the thread,
the pouring liquid
of life

through rivers
through the veins
of stars
and white
mountain peaks.

All spoke this song.

The gold fire
of the sun
touches the face
of the moon
and turns milky
white
before touching
my own face.

The veins of a stone
in my veins.

This same song
this rolling thread-

my heart beats with
the stone song
with river-blood
with sky vastness
and with the
changing brightness
of the sun.

I saw this thread
and lost my own face,
no longer apart from
the world.

The White Song

Her song sails
white
on a
black river
of night.

Caresses
from a heart
untouched

a moon
on water.

This poem was inspired by the same beautiful voice as the last- though it is very different in flavor. Hope you enjoy it.

Ocean’s Poem

I sing from
my salt depths
my wrecks-

pearl and bone
in each new wave.

This came to me as I was wondering what the ocean would say if all that squid ink coalesced and she could write a poem.

Hope you enjoy it, at the end of a year.
