This Joy Ride
September 15, 2008
Go one and all over to http://thisjoyride.wordpress.com/, Sheri & Shari’s new baby! …. because it is necessary to affirm what is still beautiful and right in the world. Children watching for sneaker waves (hand held tight), autumn light on trees, split figs. They will be featuring a new poet, photographer, artist, creative folk every few weeks, to keep our spirits up, to keep reminding.

When Air Traffic Ceased

We come to the field at twilight,
our horizon a black, leafy frame.
The sky expands effortlessly.
Stars begin, one by one, to testify,
like our held breath,
like never before.
