Sleeping Beauty

I’ll be your Shelter by Lee Wilde Reading at Anara Practice 2/25/2013 I look forward to the moment beauty is my own conceived easily like yellow dipped trees, a lazy dog the afternoon pillow of a lover’s chest when beauty is memorized and not a plea taken at the face value of Hollywood What is beauty anyway, but a shoulder to count on when others can’t see me in visual context it is...

Happiness is the Way

Sari-tree by Linaji Reading at Waimea practice 7/17/2012 “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin – real life.
