I.
here is an assortment of shells
pink, white, coral, and bones
it holds
sunlit days, rippled tides of spells:
shark's eye, cones, conch, small stones -
king's gold
on a clear fish bowl filled with sands -
amber smooth as chai tea
i sigh
for beaches & summer's long hands
when the sky is so blue
i fly
II.
we watch snowflakes spill - glass flowers
on barren fields & woods
calling
we gather light from short hours -
wicks, lamps & yellowed goods
falling
finally the moon is ours-
darkness is a cocoon
wrapping
midnight sky with mulberry stars-
silvering trees, we swoon
clapping
