we grieve is exactly how

SkyBird Bound
-for my Sister
Take off and fly
SkyBird bound
your spirit is not tethered
to any ground
Dragons don’t dream
of places that seem
any better than this
or reminisce
over fallen stars
and their memoirs
Time marches on
too soon it’s all gone
They explore possibilities
with ease in the breeze
where landings are seen
few and farther between
Everything
becomes wing
Flight becomes sight
tears become might
heart becomes art
to the end from the start
and love for love’s sake
is never a mistake
So take off and fly
SkyBird bound
your spirit is not tethered
to any ground

Built to Last
How do we know
we’re in love
Is it a deep longing
a strong knowing
a profound mutual respect
Or could it be
that we
spent so much time
learning what love isn’t
When that doesn’t show up
we are relieved
by peace
let our defenses slip
and trip
into something
we never want to release
I think
single file
our experiences
with love and anti-love
march down the aisle
and before we know it
twenty years of
a lifetime commitment
has passed
We no longer have to ask
we just know
we built us to last

Shoe Fly
A lonely sandal
lost in the dunes
far from the water’s edge
makes me wonder
how one foot can tread on
naked
while the other’s still dressed
until I recall
things I have lost
without a clue
as to
where they went
Why is my mind so bent
on this familiar event
Maybe this shoe
just slipped away
It was time for it to go
to grow
It has evolved
adapted to its environment
is happy doing its thing
And some day
its former partner
will fly away
too
only for them
to meet again
in the end
