Two Poems by Elizabeth Reninger
Here are two poems from my friend Beth Reninger. Beth lives in Boulder where she writes poetry, teaches chi gong, performs acupuncture, and continues to sharpen her vast knowledge of ancient wisdom texts, particularly those in the Buddhist and yogic traditions. She has published one book of poems.
Deer
their steps are liquid
through air, delicate
as spring's first flower
their shy gaze darts
here and there, a quick
knowing deeper
than sight
in a loose
weave they travel, giving space
to trees and sky
like you the valley
grows gentle around them
Tryst
just as
the full moon slipped
into the arms of
that maple dressed in
Autumn's
best You
slipped into
me: a silver-white
softly spherical
brightness
clear and
sweet as
dawn yet
even more
mysterious -
yes
