Lips pursed in a kiss
I blow these phrases in one deep breath
Out into the sunrise
Praying to connect, longing to bring meaning
But they are for me as much as for you
(When I write them solely for others they are hollow,
Their mystery lost-
though writing is such solitary stuff)
These hymns are magic
And carry my dreams like dandelion fluff
Out into the ether
Off in the world
May these seeds to take root
in the hearts where they land
May my words
Bloom where they are planted
And bring me peace
in my loneliness
and connection in the dark
