Translucent
anger in the air
reflections in the window
barely ghosts of us
–
cat tails-
the calm surface
minnows just below

Stone
a taste of freedom-
locked within a castle mount
above the meadows
–
afternoon heat-
careful hands
fitting stone
Departed
the time worn tombstones
children taken far too soon
their stories untold
–
a cardinal takes wing-
poppy blossoms
in the church yard
Away
high above the clouds
all my worries down below
so far behind me
–
steaming tarmac-
a double rainbow
delays our flight
Vacation
last minute details
awhirl with activity
all before we leave
–
fog rolling in
light rain falling
obscuring the jetway
Familiar
walking side by side
my constant companion long
before I met you
–
ebb tide-
our footprints
in the sand
Commitment
acrid smoke rising
the ruins of our marriage
burned and smoldering
–
twilight-
our wedding vows
worn and tarnished
Fatherhood
butterfly kisses
half asleep on my shoulder
soft breath in my ear
–
cool breeze-
your tears
slowly drying
Delta
split in two at birth-
all these years spent searching for
that which makes me whole
–
wild horses-
where the river
meets the sea
Sleep
your head on my chest
the sudden twitch of your leg
as you fall asleep
–
contemplation-
the sounds
of soft breathing
