Poems of Spirit and Earth

Part One

Joan Ann Lansberry

THE WOMAN I LOVE HAS LARGE HANDS

The woman I love
Has large hands,
Grace
With strength combined.
How her touch
Moves mountains,
Magic mystery

All mine!

1987

THE STRONGHOLD

I reach up,

You reach out.

Our hands meet

          and clasp.

Stronghold

against the agony

Of void.

(aka Joan Chevalier) self published in Journeys: A Retrospective 1978-1984

YOUR FACE

Your face,

Beautiful by reason of honesty:

Your eyes,

       bravely, gently, piercing;

Thy powerful interior light

pierces the darkness

Beacon,

I find my way to you.

(aka J.C.) Journeys,1978-1984

TRUST YOUR FEET

To a Woman

I speak,

Our common softness, our

       common strength

Leading to an uncommon

       knowledge:

You, having found the path,

trust your feet.

(aka J.C.) Journeys,1978-1984
