Break-Through Means Resolution: Martha Treicher, Gwen Zimmerman, Marge Merrill

     Staying Power

Is there a difference
between Resoluteness
and Patience?

Sometimes there is
usually not.

      ---Martha Treicher

 A Poem of Break-through

A shift of consciousness
an open heart
Love and mystery abounds
in this magical world
Eyes open to a greater reality
that lies within

Let’s take a walk

      ---Gwendolyn Zimmerman

Dormancy

embrace the blanket

hibernate

cocoon

draw energy to core

mend socks

purl too

stir walnuts into oatmeal

be divorced from pen and ink

until it is time

until snowdrops

until migrations

until the first Saturday in May

until you feel

the slip of time

gathering edges

merging

bursting at the seams

until your fingers quicken

with the sun

itch to cultivate pretty colors

in the blank paper garden
