Patience
adrift in the tide
seagulls carving lazy arcs
through the azure sky
–
becalmed,
awaiting the moon
and the fish

Transience
jewels of morning dew
in a spider’s web, sunrise
scattered by diamonds
–
dawn
captured on
a silken thread
Evening
burnt umber thickets
briars silhouetted by
a russet sunset
–
brambles
illuminated by
the dying day
Disruption
afternoon stillness
the piercing cry of a crow
hanging in the air
–
wooded path…
unintended
silence
Fantasy
lilacs in her hair
as she lays in the grass with
clouds floating whimsy
–
escapees from
my minds eye
in the clouds
Luna
in the full moon’s light
a desert scorpion glows
an unearthly blue
–
silver
illumination
of midnight
Deluge
a flash of lighting
tears the fabric of the night
letting in the rain
–
wet brilliance
slicing through
shadows
Anger
a cold rain shower
washes down my upturned face
hiding bitter tears
–
cloudy
dark and moody
raining together
Mirage
a mirror’s surface
where the water meets the shore
ripples in the wind
–
cat tails
growing in and
out of the water
Yardwork
amid the spring blooms
autumn’s final vestiges
at last put to rest
–
fallen leaves-
in time become
new soil
