Maybe it's the copper in me, or the zinc

that's recognized the copper/zinc in you

or

whatever the element is that pushes past words

and all the usual palaver of meeting

to make a new starting place

in our long history of recognition and joy.

When I have regrets,

you make the world possible again.

No one can 

describe the Flute

You play,

except by leaping up

and dancing.

                             BE LOVING

Be Loving

when you talk to yourself.

Who do you think is listening?

Who do you think is talking?

                        ALL THAT MATTERS

Each morning

the sun rises early

to see that everything is okay,

touching all the bases,

that the day may begin

with some light upon

all that matters.

            THE MOON, IN HER WISDOM

The Moon

goes around stuffing her purse

with secrets.

She has the wisdom

to shine only a soft light

so as not to frighten

those who have come

for confession.
