Communion
iPhone vibrating
mocking my attempt to be
at one with nature
–
meditation
water threading
between my toes

Detritus
I drag my feet through
the dust of relationships
that I’ve left behind
–
shuffling
forward into
an empty future
Expiration
a dying ember
brightened by love’s final breath
at last extinguished
–
autumn
the last robin
falls silent
Walking
a trail of bent grass
left behind by my roaming
for you to follow
–
newly fallen snow
you’re walking
in my footsteps
Being
who I am is just
in between who I was and
who I will become
–
my future
hinges on keeping
my past promises
Elders
as I walk this earth
I tread on those before me
my path paved with love
–
footsteps
your past guides
my future
Lost
a bicycle bell
she speeds by, skirt fluttering
laughter in the wind
–
She’s gone
before I know
it’s her
Yardwork
amid the spring blooms
autumn’s final vestiges
at last put to rest
–
fallen leaves-
in time become
new soil
Unseen
footprints in the grass
below my bedroom widow
revealed by the dawn
–
hidden-
disguised by the night
peering undetected
Drifting
when I’ve lost my way
the candle in your window
beckons me back home
–
wandering-
guided towards
your light
