Comets

Celestial constellations gather above
Ominously fleeting through the
Milky Way and beyond
Energy and motion coming
This way colliding in
Seconds, here no more

Rainbows

Red, orange,yellow, green
Ascending and descending arc
Intense blue, indigo, violet
Nascent hope is born
Buoyed among the clouds
Over the earths horizon
Water, vapor and light
Secret beginning to end

Phoenix

Pharaoh like yellow birds
Hover and soar surreptitiously
Onto the red flames
Endlessly seeking eternal renewal
New souls rising from
Inside the black ash
Xenia triumphantly releasing life

New Dawn

Night recedes into day
Emerging strong, miraculous, new
Wondrous light shining in

Daylight lights the way
As all around us
Worlds collide and soar
New day is dawning

Sisterhood

Sisters reaching out and
Inspiring creativity in other
Sisters around the globe
Together we all will
Emerge strong and united
Reaping all due rewards
History knows no bounds
Owning, meeting and surpassing
Outshining our own expectations
Doing what is right

Summer Rain

Shades of green
Undulating sheets of
Myriad Colors are
Mirrored in pools
Ethereal ephemeral estuaries
Rolling thunder dies

Rainbows arrive effortlessly
Air so clean
Inside is outside
Never so still

Growing old

Go to doctors
Romance no more
Old and gray
Worried about kids
Insurance and bills
Nothing to do
Gone the days

Of youthful folly
Long nights alone
Days too short
