~ As Things Are and Remembering ~

~

A nettle and raspberry

place their leaves in a 

heart~shaped portal outside 

our bedroom window.

The starlings have returned;

their dark, glittery silhouettes 

replacing the fallen leaves

as they convene in loud, chattering

verboseness among the sleeping

branches of Ash.

The rain continues; 

clouds crying as they

witness the abuse of

Earth.

The sun shines through;

a hopeful ray

remembering.

There are rainbows in our living room,
from a wedding~bell crystal.
