Poems – Page 23 – Generous Wisdom

Wishes

Prayer poems fall out of the ether,
like ladybugs and dandelion fluff,
shooting stars, and the fallen lashes
we cup in our hands before blowing
them into the breeze, wishes in the wind.

Infinitude

I don’t love you
to the moon and back.
I love you to the ever-
extending curves of the multiverse
and
back
again.

I am the beech tree

who keeps her shriveled golden leaves

through winter’s creeping withdraw.

Just a spark of silver

in the barren wood.
