Free Fall
we’re free falling
flying without wings
hands clasped
tugging
at the cord that binds
us to the past
leaving behind the strife
the worries
the discord
and drifting into the
open arms of peace

Mish and I are taking a short break. We’ll be back with more photos and poetry in January. Our goal is to reach 52 posts – a whole year of collaboration!

I Want To Know
I Want To Know
How the moon learned
to shine
Why planets don’t
get dizzy – spinning
What the stars do
during the day
Where clouds find
rain and snow
Who whispers to
the wind
When you knew
you
loved
me

Barriers
we build walls trying
to define our space
outline the boundaries of
what belongs to us
construct tangled barriers to
keep others at a distance
so no one will know us too well
we assume a prickly air
attempting to protect our hearts
alone inside our armor of safety
we long for the touch of another
the understanding of a neighbor
the love of a friend
yet we are afraid to reach out
take a risk
seek peace
