*
lets peace in the door
it weaves around chair legs
rises like incense smoke
softens sharp edges
*
Alone
lets silence illumine each room
filtered from skylights
it glows iridescent in darkness
pulsing sparks of light
*
Alone leaves no one for fixing
loose faucet, gas leak
broken step, poison ivy
the handyman moved away
*
Alone is uncut lawn, untrimmed edges
a house that accuses
a yard that demands
an ant trail in the workroom
*
Alone
despite it all, is a river
peacefully flowing
silently glowing, a breath
from once upon a time
Tangled Magic
