(Poetry) Things To Take Along by Phibby Venable

Maybe if I do it right,

unlimited and loose

Keep my arms outstretched

in this oddly festive life

A piano piece in my fingers slipping a note

A gallery where the sun plays a brilliant touch of light.

A tapestry unfolding, in and out of trees

Morphing to a silent doe in a downpour of rain

Long ago I urged my bones to bend with empathy

I saw an ocean everywhere

in the blue hills of fog

I gazed across mountains, a dragon’s tail long.

So much in the wetness, grateful toward birth

Warm cocoons opening in breathlessness.
