Serenity

A lake flat as glass
The calm belies the hunger
Beneath the surface

Solitude

Waves crash on the shore
As uncounted grains of sand
Sift through my fingers

Age

A young man’s eyes see
The lined face and greying hair 
Looking back at me

Erosion

Tumbled river stones
Transforming into sand by
Water’s persistence

Wisp

Dusk in the forest
Eerie tendrils of blue light
Draw me in deeper

Waves

Ripples of dreams lap
Against the shores of the night
Lulling me to sleep

Rebirth

A desert reborn
As rain coalesces and
Falls to the parched earth

Dust

We of painted clay
Molded from the living earth
Destined to return

Flock

Birds take flight en masse
Forming paintings in the sky
For just a moment

Transience

Iridescent swirls
On the film of a bubble
Dance before bursting
