Bluebird’s song in spring .....................
blackbird’s song in summer

whisked.............................................
from the forest ...
......................................on hawk’s wings
in autumn

Dim skin ........pale.....................
blue-gray of distance
..............................................only a point
......................................only a desire

beloved

sunrise brushes....................................................
lavender-gray..........................
rose and salmon..............


adored.......
morning ............of Sessondowah
above the gate
.............of coming light
.......................................................affixed
.........................................captured

bringing............................................................

the dawn.................................

we rise

...........................into heaven

apart.........

.........................................out of reach
