Seriously Silly

Maery Rose

I Gotta Be Me


I put one foot out 
As if to step forward
Holding out 
One treasured 
Piece of self
In cupped hands

I pray for
Sweet welcome
Another feather
In my boa

The other foot
Lifts
Stands in transition
One more
Gift pulled
From my basket

Another day 
Oh yes
A good one

I am the sum 
Of many moons and stars
With my own light to shine
Let it be a rainbow

A dragonfly’s wings are  transparent glittery things that always make me think of fairies…  First LoveDo not give up  your first love for it is  forever  in your heart  in your mind The thing that got you through all things You could not stop even if you tried Who you are What you are Whatever  your eye…

Down to the River

Paper, emails, messages, class assignments They arrive faster than a roadrunner cartoon Anvils rain from the sky Duck!
