I.
daffodils
great horned owls
laughter times truth
reasons
rhymes and pink chalk lines
red bird songs
the color blue
II.
antelopes
jack-a-lopes
marma-chuck-your-sweetie
bubble gum notes
small hands close
maples & oaks
heart's entreaty
III.
feathers & things
all flying things
dog's breath & kisses
sorrow's bursting epistle
what fools who travel
this path
fates fancy dash
IV.
tight-rope balance
high-flying kites
forests & rivers
time moves so fast
buckled in
yet groundless
boundless
V.
red maples & honeysuckle
cedar wax-wing's song
lavender sunflowers
everything can go wrong
so many things right
hold most things loosely
hold hope & constellations tight
close your eyes
take flight
