Unless you call attention to your presence who will know you're there? Even a country has to weave and wave a flag as proof of its existence.

May your hand be full for always if only with another hand. May your heart be empty only long enough to give you cause to fill it up again with love. May your soul be lost by you only to be found by God.

The gifts that one receives for giving are so immeasurable that it is almost an injustice to accept them.

Watch the indolent butterfly playing on the tall flower in the yard and think about the sun going down. It always does you know.

We will all wake up semi-angels, If we wake at all.

I chose the shadows; they did not choose me. I stay here securely not just because I feel plain, but because disappearance is by now the easy way. The habit. The worn path that I can trod knowingly and be assured safe passage home.

Poetry is fact given over to imagery.
