defining the craft

.
poetry is

recreating an experience

of one soul in another

through the creative craft

of word and voice
.

.
when I first heard yours
my heart could not tolerate its elation
till I gave it your name
.
now always
you live in my being
and that lilt
is the cadence
in an eternal season
of rhythm
and joy
.

The Highest Love

She said this is such a gift. Leukemia. Chemo. Reflection and resting in God's love. I thank my Creator for my visit with her this week. There is Love.

Rose garden showing

a beauty unlike no other

a loving heart and smile
sharing so much

and blooming

.
I've thirsted long

for this
a saturation
soaking up this love
that feeds me
.
we come together through
parents oddly matched
perhaps
grow in the experience
with spice of life and
human folly
finding partners of our own
purpose and passion
and soul's destiny
to grow
.
and our offspring too
this love
is family in the making
together we are one
of the highest love
one of purpose
we are love

.

this is a garden

of the highest love

is family
