Terrestrial Hymns
A raven on the sly,
punctuation across a patch of cyan sky.
A new character for a story in progress emerges on a journal page.
Stalks of pink fireweed against a
slate of clouds.
Water silk glimpsed through a
shroud of trees.
Juneau water glimpsed through trees
The day warms and whispers,
reassuring me – there is more to all
of this than the sum of us
