Copperwoman,

I close my eyes
and the river emerges
red rocks, laughing women
you in the water,
water singing
sun shining
bright droplets flying
raven woman, bear woman,
sure feet touching earth, deep
sun cracked voices,
know that water, know these women
together, what are they making?
as they laugh and sing and the water
splashes against the rocks, their voices
like strands in the stream.
Your daughter comes to the waters edge
and keeps walking
into the water
smiling, great wide smile, eyes loving
They are here. You are here. so here
in the dancing water, in your tinkling
magic wand
I open my eyes, you still smiling
drifting, hand on the wand
what a gift
Thank you,

Vivian
