As you tie the bows
Onto the sweet silken strands
Please think of my hands
I can say goodbye
Knowing you released me
I cannot say goodbye
Knowing I was never yours
Was I ever yours
I think there’s pale, storm blue.
And a handprint or two. In black, but gentle, not graffiti-like.
I hear green breathing in and giving back.
Soft fibers that fell from all over. Reminders of the eyes and hands behind them.
Amber inviting throughout the space.
Smiles. Wisdom-teaching smiles, that comfort and Save.
Hard-covered poetry within arms reach.
Wooden bowls, filled for friends, beside the window that’s right where it’s needed.
There are places
On this perfect world
That rhyme and shine so well
It surely must prove
That all of us are one
This is what I read
I read of these places
