A friend’s request:

What We Love

                 When all our notions are quiet,

the stories and superstitions seen,

                 a smile welcomes the unknown.

               And sometimes, we will awaken,

rise in darkness, gladly await

the arriving light. We sense clearly

                 how joy and sorrow can diffuse

on a timeless palette,

                 bright notes for songs that lift

our circles. Each word,

               a whale breaking the surface, 

                 spray of an offshore wind,

tracks of a winged migration.

  Enough has been known

                 to give away what we love.
