Fractures
splintering sunlight
golden arrow shafts quiver
piercing the water
–
the dog days
interrupted by
shattered glass
Category Archives: Summer
Glimmers
slow rhythmic moonlight
shining across the surface
of a mountain lake
–
an old rope swings
calm lake water
before the fall
Freedom
white sprays of sea foam
torn loose from the crashing waves
aloft in the wind
–
open ocean
gulls soaring
into the wind
Change
light plays on the walls
alternating blue and red
the sirens, silent
–
puddles in the street
turning to steam
in the sun
Distance
across the table
the chasm between us grows
wider day by day
–
a sudden stampede
of white horses
August rains
Sorrow
stilling the waters
the taste of salt on my lips
from kissing your tears
–
the loon’s cry
rising sun over
a winter lake
Nocturne
relaxing at last
working out in the garden
under the moonlight
–
high silver clouds
a beaver breaks
the water’s surface
Remnants
a resting mayfly
the dimples in the water
signaling a carp
–
spreading ripples
a gossamer wing
on the surface
Aglow
the round amber moon
slides behind a silver veil
woven in the sky
–
heat lightning
revealing clouds
from within
Chatter
on the autumn breeze
woodsmoke and conversations
wafting through the air
–
wetland banter
summer evening
an open window
