Midnight
hushed and reverent
watching the moonrise and the
rebirth of the year
–
midnight-
snow falls over
the farmer’s field
Category Archives: Peace
Ice
quietly cracking-
gentle waves frozen within
the river’s surface
–
irrigation pond-
young skaters
scarves and gloves
Beach
the incoming tide
laps the shore and erases
our sandy footprints
–
whispering surf-
driftwood
in the reeds
Bats
shrinking from the light
blended into the shadows
I’m invisible
–
dusk-
black clouds
rise from the earth
Winter
the walk to the car-
turning my jacket collar
up against the wind
–
aging-
cold breath
on my neck
Fire
a lovers embrace
two hot tempers intertwine
leaving just ashes
–
falling snow-
crackling in
our fireplace
Transformation
seeking inner peace
yearning to quench the darkness
that burns in my soul
–
wildfires-
a cold late
autumn rain
White
freshly cut lilies
pure and white and beautiful
laid upon his chest
–
city streets-
a blanket
of fresh snow
Pond
a thin skin of ice
on the koi pond slowly melts
in the morning sun
–
floating leaves-
autumn carp swim
in lazy circles
Darkness
in the evening sky-
the suggestion of darkness
from the crescent moon
–
new moon-
black before
the dark of night
