Rusty
she is rusty, worn, tired—
and still,
beautiful
Lyrics from the song Sugar Magnolia
Sometimes when the cuckoo’s crying
When the moon is halfway down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out and I wander around…
from the song Sugar Magnolia, 1970, written by Robert Hunter and Bob Weir, performed by Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead
Lately
tulips and roses and hot pink carnations,
books and puzzles and jars of fig honey,
gnomes and unicorns and blue lava lamps
Joy
joy can be found in unexpected places
Morning Fog
the sun rose, wrapped tightly within the silence of the morning fog
Lyrics from a song
If you’re a thought you will want me to think you
Lyrics from the song and album entitled, Scarlet’s Walk by Tori Amos, 2002
Beautiful Green Things
soft, green velvet
and sparkling emeralds,
deep green glass,
and thick forest landscapes,
leaves and trees and seeds,
and petals made of mystical jade,
fine, long feathers and
rolling fields of fragrant sage
Unlearning
“My focus, as I get older—is unlearning.”
A line from a recent conversation from my dear, wise friend.
Excerpt from: Birds of America
An exquisite cup, less than two inches across, of felted plant, fern or dandelion-seed down, covered so perfectly with moss and lichens and fastened with spider webs as to appear a mere protuberance on the limb, and lined with a layer of the finest down.
