Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars

Oh, thank God!
When I saw your post at HEP
saying there were new posts here on Ally and on Tanner
I felt a catch in my breath and a thud in the pit of my stomach.
I am so grateful that it's ALL GOOD!!
May it ever be so!
I can hardly wait until we are celebrating Ally's health like we can celebrate Tanner's!
That crop of red hair is a beautiful encouragement.
Thank you sooo much!! ♥
Oh he is so precious I just want to pick him up and plant smooches all over him. Blessings
listener, it will happen -- she's *such* a fighter! And the best kind, too: the cheerful warrior.
