I watched you break away from the tether that bound you

Bobbling haplessly into the heights 

Guided by wind’s unseen current, this way and that

Until the chains of gravity could not pull you back

I watched you become

A contrasting pinpoint in the clear blue 

Rising toward the sun

By now
you hope you learned
from past mistakes
you read self help
ponder Lao Tzu
watch the willows bend
and not break
and think that
by now
you should see mistakes
sidestep the mess
with a skip in your step
whistle past distractions
and noise and regrets
that hold you
By now…

She wears her mood
like a robe
bright, bold
dark or dusty
and with it
she colors the world

beautiful boy
with dark lashes and brown eyes
my first best friend
we played in innocence
held hands and walked in stride
you were sunshine, in my lonely world
of beaches and butterflies

Rainbows are dripping from the ceilings amid giggles from little girls
happiness lives here and I wonder how I’ve lived so long
without remembering

She is lightening
in black sky
a roiling sea
measured by leagues
a river, with surface glass
and rushing flow beneath

In you I came to know birth and death
neither remembered nor explained
an ellipses
space only guessed
