swimming through thin ice
to get to open waters
more fun than flying ?!$#
spring’s finally here
with less than usual fanfare
are our hearts less glad

shall we grieve for what’s missing
or be thankful for what we have
with daylight fading
a hummingbird hovers – then
skips the begonias
our lives in this world
houses on the sands of time
where then is bedrock
the full moon calling
unwilling to leave my cell
i couldn’t see her face
