About This Author
A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

Birchbark
Birchbark
Pages flake, fly free in the wind.
Wind them together, leaves for pages:
birchbark journal. Tis more,
more a diary of the tree's history. Birchbark
will tell you a year's weather-
whether or not the storms raged at will,
or if drought drained life-giving sap. History--
history is etched in lines and papered bark or
even as the paper is inked with my journey.
Journey with me: Daresay we'll break even.
For we shed our skins too, peeling away a layer.
Layer beyond skin deep: It's what we live for.
