a poem written for the home :

this sort of music is like pen and paper

in whisper calm pull world inside

windows beckon gaze wander

slow sun to sit next to me

in windows that warm eyes

ushered your way, books to hold

in current travels warble flux of birds

toll of trains, bells

notes on sheet music

they unify to

manifest the music of candles

porch garden doorway

opening this sturdy rose

to have and to hold a harvest sun

repeats in the distant measure of time

to contain compose ready

this secure passage dove nest

to succumb into a yes self

let us collect the prickled shell chestnuts

place sun on the sill with us

to mark our time, mark it for seeing

our stories, rest and adventures

as time climbs toward spirit

your best friend is the key in your pocket

the city breathes our time into water

and the aim, the plan, to be peace, is laid open

the clock is gently set into water

and gives ease release

to come back, at days rest to this nest

walls which will hold interior travel,

our feathers, the six sisters sit with sun

hold time in a flow of wood and arches

this and this balance a day, city and me

a river and time with a boat

the courtyard walks you into the neighborhood

quiet rooms of exploration in days of miles here
