between soil and stars

I reach for
your hand that breathes
your eyes that soar and glide
in the heavy sun

I reach for
your hand that sings
with the bee's laughter
vibrating through roots

between soil and stars
shipwrecked, I reach for
your hand that pulls me
deep to the elephant's dance

This piece is beautiful. I love the image of being "shipwrecked between soil and stars". Another of my favorite images is "vibrating with laughter of the bees". Also, I really appreciate the images you included, they are exquisite!

Firebird, I just found you via Sara's page. I'm glad you are doing this, and glad to know about it! Hooray!

"laughter of bees" got me, too.

Sorry, "bee's laughter."

Welcome MB! I love your bluebird (I haven't been lucky enough to see one in real life yet, but the first mockingbird of the season sang over my head yesterday)
Great to hear from you!
