Acceptance
head back and arms wide
inviting the elements
to do what they will
–
an umbrella-
defenseless in
the light of day

night at terlingua
the glow of the fire beneath
a blanket of stars
–
desert sands-
rising embers
greet the stars
Vacation
giggling children
burying my feet in warm
caribbean sands
–
shearwaters-
palms fronds
in the breeze
Senses
your head on my chest
my face buried in your hair
breathing in your scent
–
the witching hour-
watching your heart
softly beating
Dreaming
the face of the moon
in the company of stars
greets me as I wake
–
dream weaving-
pale ghosts of trees
in the moonlight
Night Owl
my bed calls to me
impossible to ignore
but yet I still try
–
waxing moon-
gliding down
on silent wings
Blackout
candle lit windows
on the way to Rodanthe
fending off the night
–
the fire’s glow-
darkness
at my back
Anger
dark clouds veil the sun-
abandoned by my shadow
alone once again
–
brooding skies-
the scowl of
thunderclouds
Risk
changing directions
deciding my journey starts
were the pavement ends
–
a cold wind-
stepping out
onto thin ice
Solitude
alone with my thoughts
in the distance barren trees
fade into the mist
–
before sunrise-
my mug of tea
gently steaming
