in Knots in the Wood, Poetry Tags: a nebular display, blink above, ceiling knots wink, flaming kissed, fly from the dark, galaxies to hold, haloed lights, Knots in the Wood, lumber bent under the saw, morning breaks, my dreams, pine-y sky, shooting stars, streaking from above

iPhone shot of cabin ceiling in the barn
.
the ceiling knots
wink down on me
(meteors from space)
.
they blink above
like haloed lights
(galaxies to hold)
.
The lumber bent
under the saw
(the knots like shooting stars)
.
my dreams and I
fly from the dark
(a nebular display)
.
When morning breaks
‘neath pine-y sky
(a stellar rain begins)
.
its breath on me
flaming kissed
streaking from above!

in Afraid 2, Poetry Tags: a centepede crawling in the dark, a crack in the wall, a pathfinder, a voice to hear, afraid, afraid of being invisible, angels sing, breath, echoes from the mountains, glory to the creator, placed me outside the frame, siblings blocked the view, sing and clap and dance, without scent, without voice

i used to be
afraid
of being invisible
without scent
without voice
or breath
Siblings
blocked the view
placed me
outside the frame
a crack
in the wall
a centipede
crawling in the dark
But now
I sing
and clap
and dance
’til echoes
bounce from mountain tops
and angels sing
glory to the creator
praise to the son
submission to the spirit
I have become
a voice to hear
a light to guide
a pathfinder!

This was 3 years ago and the wheel moves over the hill!
Today
my son
is 37 years old!
I was
37 when
I birthed him.
Wait
for the
circle of life.
Ride
the wheel
down the hill
over the hill
up the hill.

Ziggy Marley shakes the dust
Ziggy Marley
sings for Redemption
My life became reggae
when the Cable tech came with his Jamaican helpfulness
when I danced to Reggae music with my Alzheimer’s friend
when The Netflix BBC Show was about Jamaican voodoo protection
when my e-friend, FrizzText, posted the music of Bob Marley and son.
Some of this came in the cloud,
some in human footprints.
Some of this moved our feet:
All of this was fine art,
rocky shaking redemption!
