A person who has good thoughts
cannot ever be ugly.
You can have a wonky nose
and a crooked mouth
and a double chin
and stick-out teeth,
but if you have good thoughts
they will shine out of your face
like sunbeams
and you will always
look lovely.

soft skin soft skin soft
kind touches kind touches kind
warm bodies warm bodies warm
love kisses love kisses love

with each delicate word
i placed a tiny parachute
a seed upon the dandelion

so fragile was my trust
but a breath could take it
far away


words.
graceful, charming, eloquent
planted more tiny little seeds
upon the tender head

gathering.
forming a beautiful round
feathery ball

made with the seeds of my faith,
my hope
my trust



and then...


holding the stem

      within your hand
                                                            ­                              
you blew...



                                 and so      your words

and     the seeds  

      one      
                                               ­        by        

                          

one



                                               floated                            



                                                             ­                   away...
