Impermanence
on this lonesome road
my only legacy the
footprints in the dust
–
empty shells-
ocean waves
wash the shore
Category Archives: Time
Desert
ghosts walk the streets of
an abandoned mining town
out of the shadows
–
desert shade-
sand dancing
across the road
Arc
the early morning sun
walks amid the wet grass and
turns the dew to gold
–
twilight-
memories of dreams
most elusive
Transition
near enough to see
daylight fading to the point
where the rain begins
–
tending the garden-
raindrops warm
on my neck
Remembrance
in a dusty tin
a collection of the days
that lead me to you
–
withered leaves-
the memories of
an old diary
Ocean
the sun reaching down
tenderly kissing the edge
of the atlantic
–
sandpipers-
morning waves
kiss my feet
the full moon unveiled
from behind translucent clouds
poised for summer’s kiss
–
an owl’s call-
the full moon
follows me home
Stone
a taste of freedom-
locked within a castle mount
above the meadows
–
afternoon heat-
careful hands
fitting stone
History
roaring bonfires burn-
shadows of ancient stones paint
the salisbury plain
–
waning daylight-
a crow stands guard
over those long dead
Departed
the time worn tombstones
children taken far too soon
their stories untold
–
a cardinal takes wing-
poppy blossoms
in the church yard
