Absolutes
Solo black bird fly away
Teach me there is just no way;
To capture pure absolute view
Of truths I merely thought I knew
~RL
Submerged
“Yet it is in our idleness,
in our dreams, that the submerged
truth sometimes comes to the top.”
~ Virginia Woolf
Take Hold
Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly
Our toes, our noses
Take hold on the loam,
Acquire the air.
Nobody sees us,
Stops us, betrays us;
The small grains make room.
Soft fists insist on
Heaving the needles,
The leafy bedding,
Even the paving.
Our hammers, our rams,
Earless and eyeless,
Perfectly voiceless,
Widen the crannies,
Shoulder through holes.We
Diet on water,
On crumbs of shadow,
Bland-mannered, asking
Little or nothing.
So many of us!
So many of us!
We are shelves, we are
Tables, we are meek,
We are edible,
Nudgers and shovers
In spite of ourselves.
Our kind multiplies:
We shall by morning
Inherit the earth.
Our foot’s in the door.
~Sylvia Plath
Unremitting Love

“Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean
refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how
many times it’s sent away.”

Where You Are
Don’t need to go far
You are where you are
No mission or plan
It’s All Wonderland
~ Robyn Lee
Wishing Everyone a joyful weekend and a
Happy Mother’s Day too!
Prime Seats
Is there anyplace else we’d rather be,
than nestled up high in the
palm of a tree
