Whisper

 

Whisper

I’ve let the idea of solitude linger

Luscious on my tongue

Silent in the seriousness

Of teaching and responding

To all their work today.

I’ve watched solitude hide

Gentle in my eyes

Reminding me to claim time

 we make our way

despite the chill

Yellow dust

dispersed abundance 

 peppering the day

 disquieting assurance

 now

of  cooling shade

falling through distant summers

Topside Celebration

 

 

Mountain

rich granite

we climb and climb

further than we imagined

into blue sky and rising sun

trudging up and up

the winding trail

stone beneath

sustaining

 

An Easter morning

‘Hallelujahs’ flowing down

wash over the ledge we’ve gained
