Morning light glimmers—

painted lady rides the breeze

on chinchweed’s gold flame.

Wings like brushstrokes glide,

painted lady on the breeze —

petals bow in awe.

Is of multitudes.

Even More Than Hope: Painted Lady Butterflies

Like spirits, they will dart across our path
in drifts, and zig-zag past our cheeks and hands
just out of reach, and whirling toward a land
far north of us, by predetermined math.

It seems a miracle, winged migration—
almost as hard to fathom as moon flight.
What tiny compass guides them day and night
in rivers of raw determination?

Their journey symbolizes more than hope:
They breathe into each moment the belief
that happiness as real and bright as wings
is just ahead … and therefore we can cope,

and fill heavy hearts with newfound lightness,
and bathe a moment more in their brightness.

A bright afternoon

no vultures circling

only butterflies 

landing briefly

as if to change 

the decision to land 

yellows and reds

muscling their way 

through leaves of green.

true love of

in the shadow of

mountains

remembering all

goodbyes.

Society is like a stew.

If you don’t stir it up every once in a while

then a layer of scum floats to the top.

There is no time for despair,
no place for self-pity,
no need for silence,
no room for fear.

We speak,
we write,
we do language.

That is how civilizations heal.

I love this lady
Resting on nearby flower
Pondering next move.
