TO THINK LIKE AN ANGEL

Berkeley Rose Garden
Berkeley, CA

To think like an angel
Wings constantly unfurling
infusing the light
ready to meet terror with beauty
unfailing, unexpected, unnoticed
willing a way into the heart of the world
holding steady in the breeze
protecting this portion of land
procreating, variegating
wearing wishes like perfect moments
thinking of being an angel always
not just when it is convenient
