She pointed directly…
As trees like tassels swung
To miniature creatures
Accompanying the sun

For Beauty is Infinity (Lahaina, 8 August, 2023)
Blossoms Will Run Away
Memory Like Melody
As is the Inner Brand
Accompanying The Sun
Ava Vale
Carriers by Proxy
Now within
an angel twin
a spirit capped
Covered
A fallen twin
though spirit kept
crept within
Shuttered
Leaves impress
though wither since
yet with one hand
Carried
By silk, by light
a faith, a plight
as we hark and herald
Surely
