Expiration
a dying ember
brightened by love’s final breath
at last extinguished
–
autumn
the last robin
falls silent

Decisions
deeply search your soul
and when the darkness calls you
choose not to answer
–
evil
waits for an
eager listener
Disturbance
watching while you sleep
your gentle breath, warm and sweet
so easily stilled
–
echoes of
silence spread
throughout the night
Being
who I am is just
in between who I was and
who I will become
–
my future
hinges on keeping
my past promises
Elders
as I walk this earth
I tread on those before me
my path paved with love
–
footsteps
your past guides
my future
Lost
a bicycle bell
she speeds by, skirt fluttering
laughter in the wind
–
She’s gone
before I know
it’s her
Anger
a cold rain shower
washes down my upturned face
hiding bitter tears
–
cloudy
dark and moody
raining together
Drifting
when I’ve lost my way
the candle in your window
beckons me back home
–
wandering-
guided towards
your light
Nectar
honeysuckle vines
distilling morning sunlight
into liquid gold
–
honeysuckles-
concentrating
liquid sunlightc
Waiting
in twenty-two years
from now I pray I’ll still be
waking next to you
–
in anticipation-
dreaming of
our old age
