of five living generations

I see forever

my brother on one side

and I on the other

Dad in between us

small hands soothe

the dog to sleep

Me and my mom

Playing with sea shells

It's my dream

Sea shells are her memory

I am alone now

Manasa Kaliki

Every flower, every life

Their own story, their own tale

Tied by strings of fate

Nature reflected

Sand and surf inverted here

Wonder to behold

embroidered

in the tapestry of the universe

words

the ancient rhythm sung

in cosmic ancestral chants

Rita Melissano

the sound of a cello

silencing my heart beat

this longing...

end of the line we could start here

Rita Melissano

delighted

with the unexpected

gift box

her desire for nothing

unwraps its silky ribbon

in quiet contemplation

just a bird and me
