In our resistance against darkness
we find light streaming
into our hearts and lives,
and often
a poem or two
floating freely.

As Autumn Fades
As autumn fades, we remember
special meals,
the warmth of smiles,
passing the mashed potatoes
and at sunset – blankets,
and popcorn on the couch
with a good movie.

Solar Wind – Conclusion
It was her eyes really, that convinced me. Even though I didn’t know her, and she didn’t know me, there was hope in those hazel eyes.
And she had done the research, checked me out on every software ever made….I figured she did kind of care about me,
even though for me it was all new….. something told me I needed to get on that flight, the last one leaving Earth.
Within seconds I put all my grieving aside, and yelled, “Let’s go!” We jumped up, joined hands, ran for the gate, and the doors of the shuttle…..
just as the glass of the airport bay began exploding……
It was the best decision I’ve ever made.
Narrator: This couple did get to know each and are doing very well on the new planet Beryl.
It is 5 times the size of Earth with only a few thousand people. It is a little colder, somewhat like Norway.

Life Across the Sky
The light of dawn
warming the autumn air
streaking
life across the sky.

Writers
We were writers back then, weren’t we My Love?
Writing over every scar,
infusing every story
with the imprint of the other
inseparable really,
an edge
to our day and night
as we got lost in each other’s arms
and found out who
we really were
with fresh lines
we even spoke our own language,
had a certain wildness.
Love written
on our hearts,
so amazingly…….

The Healing of Love
She said give me your heartbreak
and I’ll give you an ocean,
filled with light
and power,
and you will know who you are
once again.

The Light Was Already Dancing
As I walked into the woods today the light was already dancing,
filtered through the leaves,
pulling me,
pulling my spirit closer,
into the healing.
I stood for a long time
at rest, confident,
grateful even
that I was part of the earth now,
part
of the light dancing.
