Earth Angels
I have witnessed, Earth Angels.
They come...in different forms.
Sometimes, secretly.
Sometimes,
Loud and proud, like Mom.
Like ones, in Colorado.
Where mountains,
The lack of air,
Where I look upon
The grace of being alone,
And also,
Filled
In company,
Where I look at prairie dogs,
bunnies,
And hear owls singing to me,
Where I walk out and feel,
Supported.
Where, love truly is alive.
Where life surrounds me,
Rather than money,
rather than emptiness.
Rather than pain.
Tonight,
I lie pondering it all.
Dogs above my head,
At my feet,
With no harsh words,
With a promise,
That dance,
song, the wilderness,
Returns,
Where there is life
“Beyond, all right
And wrong, ,”
“All right doing and wrong-doing ,”
Mary Oliver, you’re tattooed
On my arm. It’s funny,
You should transition
At such a time.
Let the creeks rise,
Let the trails
lead to nothing,
But happiness,
Let the trails lead
To a life of no pain
Or suffering.
Let the trails lead only
To all the earth angels,
Who know
The truth
In, what it means,
To be a
Woman.
