The only motherly thing I knew
was the coldness of my blade;
gently washing away the
sadness of my burdened heart

Words travel
In time
In books
In speech
In thought
Wordstouch
In soul
In heart
In mind
Words print
In books
In mind
In soul.
Words gift
In heart
In sharing
In truth
Words are meant
To be shared
To be eaten
To be digested
To be tenderly
Cared for
Words are written.said
Prayed and sung
Words are a treasure
To be
Buried in the heart
Or shared with others
Words aren't  just words
Words are the
Hidden unicorns
Of our being

Oh to be a goose
Honking in the air
Making lots of noise
Flying in the air
Spreading my wings
Waiting for a
Perfect place to land
Finding food to eat
And a place to chase
My friends
Swimming in  a pond
A lake crystal clear
Or murky water
No matter
In the business of
Just being
I don't have to be
A goose
Honking in the
Air
Making lots of noise
Spreading my wings
Looking for a perfect
Place to land
Hunting for food
Chasing my friends
I can do this.
By myself
To be grounded
And then take
Flight

I like words
The trickle down
From your mouth
Words
Look it up
You don't understand
Words
Repetitious in
Three.part harmony
Words
Hurting loving
Yes I'm breathing
Words
Creating escaping
Head for the hills
Words
Soothing comforting
Melt in your mouth
Words
Hit the highs
Hit the lows
Words
Prayerful praising
Full of Thanksgiving
Words
Words words words
Glorious joyful
Thank you from
The heart
Words

A New day  has dawned
Sun filtering through
The sun bleached shades
Pen and paper
Are ready by my side
Geese echoing
Good morning
As words mince
Together in
My scattered mind
And like the geese
Ready.for
Take off

Words stirring around
As I lay tossing all night
Time for a new day
