Subside
Final autum leaves
Serenely drifting downward
Seasoning the earth

Transience
Iridescent swirls
On the film of a bubble
Dance before bursting
Passion
Our love together
Once bathed in fire, now kept warm
By an ember’s glow
The Road
Rivers of blacktop
Streaming towards infinity
But going nowhere.
Snooze
Fighting wakefulness
I can get a week’s sleep in
Just five more minutes
Late
I arrived in time
To watch you walk away from
Our lives together
Dawn
Hoarfrost on the grass
Morning fog clings to the ground
At the break of day
Beach
Waves lap the shore while
Broken white shards of bone lie
Bleaching in the sun
Promise
Midnight’s lustrous moon
Bears witness to the promise
Of the newborn year.
Nostalgia
When did my daughter
Get old enough to leave me
At the carnival?
