Poetry Friday: Buoyant Hope

Buoyant Hope
 
Stretched thin and drifting,
hope is lightly buoyant; we
only need look up.

Poetry Friday: The Reception


 The Reception

We negotiate
this dance of joy and loss. We
cut the rug of life!

Poetry Friday: Sister of the Bride


Sister of the Bride
 
Years of dress-up from
the costume box, swish and swirl
in her wedding dress.

Poetry Friday: Parents of the Bride


Parents of the Bride
 
Joy curves around the
hollowed empty space of her
leaving us behind.

Poetry Friday: Mother of the Bride



Mother of the Bride

Seated behind her,
rising from the chair to dance
into her future.

My lupus flared the night before the wedding. Arriving in a wheelchair, I was blessed to stand and walk down the aisle for the ceremony and then to dance at the reception. Joy!
