In reverie.

Photosynthesis as manna,
Prisms offering the rainbow of...

Let Your Words be Kind
by Davia A. Massey

 

Let your words be kind

Your breath deep

Your thoughts gentle

Your heart bubbles with joy

A light resides in your eyes

A soft-graceful gait carries you

And you resonate with truth.

Deelie’s mother had many things for her to do that day. She was not free to go to the potter’s til after the evening meal. But then she did go. The potter was not at her worktable, nor in her house. Deelie started up to the spring, but then she thought what if she’s sitting in...
