Nantucket Basket

Between the fall of night and the fall of  

sleep                        (Jeanne)

Intuition plays follow the  

leader                                                (Dorothea)

through lavender  

roses                                                             

(Sherrril)

past unmelted  

dewdrops                                                             

(Ruth)

a ray of moon, a beam of  

forever.                                                (Ruth)

The Muse goes foraging for  

words                                                (Mary)

cornering them on the way to the  

beach                                    (Kit)

limning them in the  

dark                                                             

(Cynthia)

using their heft as  

ballast                                                             

(Katherine/Russ)

to build a foundation for  

balance                                                (Russ)

We all yearn for the same thing on our  

journeys:                        (Jeanne)

to have someone by our  

side.                                                             

(Jeanne)

Listen in the silence: What do you  

hear?                                    (Cynthia)

God is still speaking, so don't  

interrupt.                                    (Sherril/Russ)

This is where eternity spreads  

out.                                                  (Cynthia)
