SISTERHOOD

We arrive from near and far

smiling, hugging and laughing

happy to see each other

Every year under the sycamores

by the creek we meet

bringing our creations

sharing our art

Creative women we all are

our hands magical tools

our voices sweet melodies

our words pure poetry

A day with creative women

our banner announces

and the young girls

walk among our art

with bright eyes

filled with wonder

And the old sisters

visit us with tenderness

happy to see our unity

blessing us with smiles

Welcome sisters

old and new

here we meet again

to show our art,

to make new friends

to sing along

the ancient

song of sisterhood

"YOU HAVE ARRIVED"

On an April day

on a Spring day

High on the snowed mountains

of South Lake Tahoe

near Emerald Bay

you arrived...

My grandson

wanted and waited for

your big blue eyes

search for the light

and your little hands

clasp grandma's pinky

Little sweet boy

you arrived in a day

when the birds

were arriving home

after a long trip

across the planet

As they sang happily

on the branches

safe in their blue lake

so you are safe in the

arms of your grandma

GOING ALONE....

Along the beach wetting my feet in the cool sea, going alone....

Enjoying myself rested and calm ,no worries no deadlines, going alone....
