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
Drifting
when I’ve lost my way
the candle in your window
beckons me back home
–
wandering-
guided towards
your light
Waiting
in twenty-two years
from now I pray I’ll still be
waking next to you
–
in anticipation-
dreaming of
our old age
Wane
the cricket’s refrain
raspy in the evening woods
fades as the night falls
–
evening woods-
crickets fade
as midnight nears
Serenity
a paper lantern
carried aloft on the breeze
lights the evening sky
—
twilight-
illuminated by
a passing lantern
Silence
The night’s slow passage
A stanza in the poem
Of my sleeplessness
