Divisive relations
Separate,
Fracture limbs
Crack,
Heal, scar,
lesions remain,
form mangled knots
All born
Of the same root

Same Root II (Family Tree)
July 24, 2017
Young sprouts
Tangle,
Engage,
Merging tales
Threading,
Through the ground
together,
Yet set apart,
Reaching up
At differing points
Finding own identities
As limbs branch
From the trunk,
Sourced by the same roots
Same Root (Family Tree)
July 21, 2017
Tender buds
Do yearn to grow
Natural separation
Of the branches
Kin connecting
Tensions tighten, within
For the vines that burst forth
No value judgement
Passing, weaving
From the same root
Becoming “We”
May 27, 2017
We let go
and pick up
where we left off,
before we found reasons
to separate
We find family
in memorial days
We reminisce
We share
We find reasons to be
together
All as we parade
our family
for all to see
We have once again
Become “we”.
Shifts
May 21, 2017
Drip drip drops
of quiet contemplation
Pieces and perspectives
Settle into place
Finding peace
on a stage set:
Swings rock,
Rain washes
Paradigms

Nostalgia and Belonging
May 2o17
In breaths
of this air
are gusts of memories
Of Mine
Of others
And nostalgia
of grands and greats
and “good ole…”
Feeling of family
Of serenity
Of fitting
Of being
home
