As a Child I Walked

As a Child I Walked


10"x10"1.5" acrylic and mixed media by Lori DiPasquale

As a child I walked
with noisy fingers
along the hemline
of so many meadows
back home

Green fabric
stretched out
   shy earth
   shock of sky
I’d sit on logs like pulpits
listen to the sermon
of sparrows
and find god in Simplicity,
there amongst the dandelion
and thorn

(Jewel Kilcher)
