312days until
Calendar's End

To my Parents

    A gust of wind my mind 
becomes as blown across 
a moor
My random thought-full 
crosses England-west to 
east and south to north.
I rustle through the dark
brown heather of ages 
old unbroken land, some 
of me is splashing waves 
against the hard-packed 
Cornwall sand.
    I came from North 
America and crossed 
the lonely sea.
Sights and sounds of my 
own home I carried 
here with me.
Full circle I will come 
someday home safe 
and soon and sound
with the fragrance of 
the world to share 
with family- all around.
    I want to bring it all back 
brick by bricks and 
tree by trees
but my hands can't lift, 
my legs can't carry only 
my mind is like the breeze.
Thank-you Dad and mom
 for everything; I love you 
more than I can show
The only way 
to give my love; 
one day I will come home.

Riverbed

Along the slender
valley of her torso
a riverbed
runs its course
and brooks
into her belly.

Skimming her face
like a sun-dappled lake
waves of hair
waterfall
down dangerous
steeps of shoulders.

I lay my head
along her shores
handling smooth
pebbles in her river
and never
skipping them.
