The softer issues in life
A pale buttercup glowing deliciously
in the hand
A caterpillar shimmying over earth and grass
...
Evenly even is our evenness
Not stretched, not taut
No spiraled tangleness but
Footed and webbed
...
"Welcome" Change
Near to the ocean
Close to my heart
Calm one day
Cyclone another
The waves with regularity
crash
break
spraying spray
Day after day
Near to the ocean
Close to my heart
"Welcome" change... but then
Everything resumes its course
