Once Upon a Sunbeam
fluffy dust motes floating by
i closed my eyes to wonder why
i do not see them in the night
although i try with all my might
where do they go when sun goes down
to rest somewhere or into town
they bounce and float on sunny days
then disappear when days turn gray
i’ll set a trap, that’s what i’ll do
put on a glove covered with glue
but they’re more clever than i thought
a bunch of cat fur’s all i caught

Stone Secrets
Unkindness of Ravens
The Monarchy depends on us
My brethren and me
Six guardians of the Tower
Legend says we must not leave
Wings are clipped
Servants prepare banquets
All needs are met
We are adored, pampered
We are beautiful
We long for the sky
To feel the wind ruffle our feathers
We are not free
How to Catch a Star
Step outside on a clear summer night
Cast your eyes upward to see the light
Of a million stars in the dark firmament
The gow of lost planets already spent
Close your eyes tightly, breath in, breath out
Empty your mind – earasing all doubt
That those pinpoints of light are too far away
For your small earthbound finger to stretch out to play
With the sparkling wonderful magic in space
Trust your heart, look at me, find your star in my face
