Fall

The voice of autumn
Whispers from the swirl of leaves
Carried on the breeze

Atonement

If I’ve done you wrong
If I’ve caused you grief or pain
I beg forgiveness.

Travel

The short light of dawn
Illuminating strangers
Waiting for the train

Nostalgia

When did my daughter
Get old enough to leave me
At the carnival?

Beneath

His smile hangs askew,
while unseen tribulations
rent rifts in his soul.

Solstice

On the horizon,
the evening sun stretches low
beckoning the night.

Chasm

Mute, straining to hear
your voice outstretched across our
chasm of silence.

Spring

Driving, lost in thought.
Brought back to earth by the smell
of freshly cut grass.

Mother

How thankful am I?
Still to have the chance to say
That I love you Mom.
