May your 2020 reflections provide a shining light to all as you enter 2021.
too—oh, two oh
too—oh,
two oh—where . . . will . . . we go
we’ll travel to spain and uk
visiting seattle, atlanta, and dallas,
photographing georgia, europe, and california—
we’ll enjoy holidays and celebrate wedding vows,
commemorating birthdays—leap seven . . .
eighty . . . fifty . . . thirty . . . and . . . two oh,
too—oh,
two oh—how . . . will . . . you go
world’s too flat to hide—oh no
it went viral, too fast to grasp
with too shallow to lead and too fake for reality
so many followers to flatten, too late—
too racist—too privileged—too white to know,
we burn too hot, we consume too much—
too polluted for our earth,
to many. . . too painful. . . too long,
too—oh,
two oh—when . . . will . . . you . . . go
enduring, I seek my lining to turn silver—
coping, will I see a rainbow in two oh
its passion red and creative orange to change me
plus yellow wisdom balanced with green—to bring order,
adding heavenly blue and indigo intuition—to calm me
then top with violet’s inspiration—
I see a rainbow’s glory is in its colors—
I must live . . . each . . . color,
too—oh,
two oh—how . . . must . . . I go
I grew, sitting in stillness with nature
I heard, listening from my soul
I saw, opening up my chest
I tasted, savoring from within
I touched, feeling deep down
I understood, learning all . . . with my heart,
too—oh,
two oh—where . . . did . . . you go
now . . . I see,
this . . . I know
it is in me, too
—oh
