Serpentinarium

Stillness, grey, misty outside in early dark

Journey's footsteps fall softly
Heart opens, smiles, warming in Light
One before the other, distance covered

Soul beside me, breath tender
Love graces spaces between
Richly glowing, soothing, healing

Stillness, golden, misty inside in early dawn

Cop in a cruiser
Across a four way stop
Hesitates as I

Unsure who's next

White van on right
Eases tentatively
Into danger zone

Escorted by Squirrel
Scampering a straight line
Full in the moment

Knowing who's next

Fading red-orange of sunrise
Behind cars disappearing
Behind a hill
Behind scrawled wires on poles
Behind the windshield

Confusion with words
Silencing my voice again
Winter looms outside
