You will be a healer one day . . .

clickety clack . . .
humble response

and this from a woman of wisdom

heart twirling rainbow pinwheel
the kind you buy for fifty cents
at a second hand store

smooth round coins
metallic
two of them to be exact
candy to a kid in those days

I believed her
a mere shadow in her presence
chuckling . . .
my fingers speaking for me
click clack . . .

without reaching in
I believed her
stopping only to breathe
sweet lilac
spreading in second season

wooly silken lining
warming hands

cold hands these days . . .

I looked again today
hoping to sneak
a glint from corner of eye

shutting them instead
  and believing her still . . .

love the powerfully woven image in the above section...great read!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Click, Click, Click, Click....Gesture drawings...One after another...Fitting together like a child's puzzle...

Have you found a new voice?
