my mind tuned to find the

the music -
playing in my mind.

On the first day the pond was dug.
On the second day the rains came.
On the third day tiny butterflies massed .
On the fourth day whirligig bugs spun.
On the fifth day the doves drank.

she sees the intersection up ahead,
a busy main road interrupting her path.
She pedals faster, feeling the wind on her face,
the sun on her shoulders,
the crunch of the leaves under her tires.

Replace Peter at the golden gate
Elevate the skies to match your eyes
Change the truth to match your lies
Glance at me but just once more
And I shall remove the sea from shore

taking turns lightly, effortlessly following the curves of the road,
Autumn changes the colors of her leaves—from green to yellow and soon to red.

I’ll eat a cold cookie,
A warm cookie,
A cookie that melts,
The skin off my mouth.
