Favorite Quote:
\"Learn to dance in the rain.\" A student at my school said this just before she lost her battle with leukemia.


Light as a breeze

Unlike the earth
Flower in the air.

The way you move
Your wings

So light
As air

Glide
And flutter

In the spring breeze.
You land on a girl’s finger

And she gazes at you
In wonder

Of flying on her own
Through the air

Above the trees
Over the waterfalls of mist

That hang in the morning air
You are done with this encounter

You leave the girl’s finger
And take flight

As she watches you leave
Her heart aches

To follow.
