Hanging side by side, tips
of fingers grip, slip, they
fall into the light & wonder
why they waited so long.

Are so tightly wound

Your hearts are bound

Thankful for a golden life?
Or for what's to come.
Such faith is often coin enough
For the lucky some.

On the High Wire

On the high wire, I balanced
with ease, umbrella clasped
in my left hand, before I
knew I couldn't do it at all.

So near her end,

Boo-Boo

The only family member I've lost of late
Was with me for 18 years.
A grand old lady who kept others in their place.
She may not have been human, but she was important
and loved.

I think about her always.
the lessons that she taught,
the peace she sought to nurture

When we accept our mother's
limits, forgive them their
shortfalls, love their gifts,
womanhood we then share.

She kept traces of us,
preserved in photographs,
or flower petals pressed
inside an old dictionary.
