Beach
white scrims of sea foam
gauzy and delicate as
a dragonfly’s wing
–
seaweed-
sun dried by
the high tide line

Summer
chocolate ice cream
slowly melting in the heat
of the summer sun
–
amber skies-
an ice cream truck
around the corner
Shoreline
a weathered rowboat-
mooring line gently slapping
up against the dock
–
children jumping
from the pier-
lakeside
Humanity
the fifth of July
a time for reflection on
what we have become
–
saguaro cactus-
a small sneaker
in the sand
Evening
ephemeral rain-
bird songs echo from the trees
in the fading light
–
twilight-
a grove
of amber
Night
my open window-
from the red barn a white owl
asks me one question
–
transfixed-
the field mouse stares
at his death
Light
a time of rebirth-
years spent living in the dark
rescued by your light
–
through the water
dancing reflections
from the surface
Café
a sidewalk cafe-
lunch forgotten as a crow
lands on my table
–
al fresco-
a rain drop
in my coffee
Waterfall
born of the mountains
falling over age worn stone
scattering the sun
–
summer solstice-
roaring water
fills my ears
Betrayal
in a shadow box
fragments of my broken heart
preserved and on display
–
shimmering heat-
pools of water
just out of reach
