Although I quickly discovered Joy did not write this as a poem. It's a song! And she plays saxophone on it, too. This woman rocks my world! Give a listen.
The creative juices have been flowing these past 24 hours or so, and I feel on the brink of all things new.
Finally got out for a walk while it was still 70 degrees this morning. Took note of many things since I didn't have my phone with me. They made it into the poem below.
After writing with Harjo's text as a mentor, I realized that the ending of this was in Obama's speech to graduates last night. I love synchronicity!
The sun bright on the road
Thought by thought
Beauty by beauty
The ducklings looking for mom
Thought by thought
Beauty by beauty
The runners, bikers, dog walkers
saying hello
Thought by thought
Beauty by beauty
My creative juices flowing
A piece of beach limestone
in my pocket
Do not be afraid
Keep taking steps toward new realities
Do not be afraid
