meeting on the lily pad;
kissing her wrist;
the long shore drift.

spending a day in wildflowers;
a dilemma resolved;
the birds, the mountain, and the key.

coming in for landing;
baby steps;
lightning in snow.

what the waves said;
taking off your armor;
people joining hands for hundreds of miles.

a flower sealed in a grate;
the rooster crowing a fifth time;
bending over backward.

knowing where you’re going;
foxes in snow;
climbing through softness of clouds.

ancient stories;
a staff of pearls and paperwhites;
holding onto the dream.

the light coming back;
paddling out to the island;
plenty of wild honey.

pebbles;
drums from the other side of the mountain;
flapping your wings and taking off.

half-way toward spring;
a pouch replenished with gold coins;
waltzing in the afternoon.

turning wheat into gold;
what it’s like to be a snowflake;
rhe fox sledding down the hill.

three crows with a message;
marmite;
pulling the sword out of the stone.
