Two Poems from "My Book of Changes"



21.  Clarity Shimmers the Day

November 10,1995
Silence prevents
understanding,
concedes to chaos.
Speak!  Thunder rolls
sparking interest.  Lightning
disperses  night.
36.  Veiled Light
November 11, 1995
I work with my students,
alone, with no one to talk
and share.  I often desire
to work through the night.
Writing the dark, watching
the movement of stars.

from My Book of Changes, 1994-1995)
