IMAGE OF EARTH AND QUILL

Guest Poet Linda Holmes



Untitled

A great light glowed 
over ancient rocks
and a haze of clouds
blocked the truth
colors were transformed into magic
and my eyes were opened
to something more
to the slightest possibility
that maybe,
nothing more.
And as I looked to the moon for answers
she stared back at me
even more puzzling 
than she was before
I laid in wonder
gazing at the stars
and marveled at how far
their arms stretched
to another place


April, 1998
