Rocking chance

 Art by Kathryn Stottler
Art by Kathryn Stotter

I open my hands
to embrace
the rocking chance

playing, swaying
teasing thru bones
clearing
-sharp aches-
the creative mess

flowing in the water
I stand above
on my limbs/bridge

twice
a chance may come
but – over time

stolen years smile
sinking in the ground
thru the roots

let them go

all trees show
the way to heaven
we were called Home.

  15. there are things we have to learn to let go....and to let chances slip passed us...its all in our choice in which we choose to let do that....
