Sweet Hermione




1st poem

Life like this 
she breaks the dawn with cold delight 
rays of sun take flight 
through her opened hands 
through her spread fingers, now 

he cracks open the face of the earth 
the bubbling lava drips 
down his melting summer shoes 
down his shrinking toes, now 

they set the sun with tender touch 
the floating clouds wave 
between their dancing hairs 
between their smiling faces, now 

do you know me, 
mother earth and father heavens 
as you release the thunder 
over the years that we have spent 
in silent serenity? 

moon wraps up my sins, my sins 
i do not dread the night 
no more.
