Trust ... a poem

        Trust ...a poem

Poems remind us
that meaning
is not locked in place.

It takes listening
to write, and listening
to read... remembering.

Each word has a history
creating a now with all
that has been
and all that might be.

Context changes
with mood, and the way
light hits the page...

[Do you see the same illustration I do
from King Arthur's court?]

A poem's interpretation is at all times
momentary.

A kaleidoscope capture
of personal experience...

Pebbles moving in a mountain stream
of cold fresh water, pebbles
tumbling into polished
glimmering treasure,
but only for one who
notices and reflects

with human warmth
and connection.
