Houston
hoping against hope
to stem the incoming tide
and still it rises
–
august-
forsaken
by the sun
Category Archives: Sound
Fire
ashes in the air
embers of glowing orange
peering through the flames
–
quiet laughter-
coals dying
in the night
Recklessness
the lust for power
buried in the hearts of men
exhumed far too soon
–
hesitation-
the sharp crack
of thin ice
Creation
telling my story
words spilling off of my tongue
and into your ears
–
snowfall-
the chasm
of a blank page
Community
surrounded by friends
sitting around the campfire
retelling old tales
–
clearing skies-
broken branches
new neighbors
Birth
open to the cold
exposed and vulnerable
naked and alone
–
new life-
tempted
by the light
Jamaica
from across the beach-
the hollow silver ring of
a turtle drum band
–
a cold red stripe-
cabana lights
gently sway
Venus
naked in the sun
draped in caribbean light
among the seashells
–
abalone-
the warm glow
of auburn skin
Andrew
night at terlingua
the glow of the fire beneath
a blanket of stars
–
desert sands-
rising embers
greet the stars
Rain
drops of quicksilver
balanced precariously
on a blade of grass
–
stained glass-
the palette
heavy rain
