High in the mountains The sky whale breached Blessing All who sang below. . What is more fantastic, That whales once walked the Earth, Or that You do Now?

The Newly Bright Green whispers to me on gossamer wings – Leaving behind what she no longer needed. All that remained was a shell on the lintel, Leaving us to ponder the mysteries of transformation.

Tiny lion
I open my car door, And there in the tall grass Is a tiny lion. Everything reminds me of You.

Swoop
V Driving in the van, An owl swoops across my windshield And up onto the power lines at the end of the street. . I sit at the stop sign, Heart pounding, Watching the owl, who seems nonplussed.
