More lines from a thank you note...
Thanks also for the sounds of children
singing in laughter some where unseen.
For an injured neighbor able to listen
and two silent cats tentative and still.
Thanks for soft sunlight
and memory of rain
for memory of mother alone in her yard.
Thanks for a beloved brown shawl
sometimes around my shoulder in deepest night.
Thanks for radiant musicians.
for those who dance the night away.
Many thanks,

Thanks again for breeze stirred ginkgo leaves
adrift in silence to the sunlit sidewalk;
and for a yellow lawn.
for twin cousins who come each year with great aunt Lilly;
weighted down with pecan pie bread pudding;
with oysters mosca and peanut butter cake.
Thanks for another day,
for time to listen.
thanks for knowing to sit still and listen.
for baby sisters who look like dad
who looked like great grandmother.
Thank you,
