For Loki

my darling boy 
soft brown, delicate grey,
pure white
you are walking so lightly
through the liminal

a darkness
has followed us home
uninvited

at night
you curl in my lap
I count your breaths

your sister watches
cautiously

morning comes
and the bright day
offers grace

blossoms open their hearts
chickadees dart and flit
the black squirrel dashes

your emerald green eyes
show me infinite worlds

and during each precious moment
you are with me
anything seems possible

Music pairing: The Lost Words Blessing from Spell Songs, 2023

May these words bring truth and healing
through open hands and hearts. And then,
let it flow back into our Mother Earth
for the love of all her beings.
