“The edge”

The edge

At the river’s edge /

Waters smooth my ragged soul. /

Rocks, though, on their own.

“Saturn”

Saturn

Rings vibrate in space, /

deep — bound to a large, gas ball. /

Millions in rocks, time.

“Stops”

Stops

Abandoned portals: /
memories echo, dust stirs, /
footsteps lead to wind.

“Reborn”

Reborn

Gifts and packages, /

Clothes and books and small treasures. /

Old skin shed for new.

Books are phrased Magic /

Words shaped by the writer’s touch /

Sculpted on the page.

“Eclipse”

Eclipse

Eclipse is ice cream. /

Vanilla and chocolate swirl. /

Light then dark today.

“Eclipse cool”

Eclipse cool

We are wave cool. /

We shine during the eclipse. /

We are solid, too.

STS-109 night launch in 2002

STS-109

The night roars with fire. /

Lifted high on flames, a rocket ship. /

Earth’s embrace awaits.
