78. POETS ON A CRYSTAL STAFF

!!!Bicycle accident!!!

OHmygoshohmygosh ohmygosh!!!

I didn't even know a knee cap

Could slip 90 degrees around a person's leg!

And then snap back into place!

Of course all the ligaments had been torn...

It was the worst pain I ever experienced...

I could barely walk the following weeks

My leg was swollen like a watermellon

Along comes Goddess

Two young sisters who believe

She wants them to be healers

Two young sisters with hearts in their hands

Sunflower massaged my knee for three hours straight

She managed to get it loose enough that I could

Walk the path to the river to do their photos

Then massaged it another hour that night...

Vanessa gave me herbs

Wanderers...

The following morning they started

Their three thousand mile journey east

On a wing and a prayer as always

Spreading blessings wherever they go

You may be sure...

They wrote me poems too...

And mine for them is due...

Vanessa and the Jazz

Beneath a sky of stars

Thumbing America's freeway of the night

The endless ribbon of cars

Breath the fresh winds deep my friends

They have wandered even as you

Across the mountains and rivers and lakes

Searching even as you Ah!

My own heart races even as those winds!

To dance with a friend in magic flight!

Even God flies with his heart in his teeth

To breath upon these flowers this night
