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
Drifting
when I’ve lost my way
the candle in your window
beckons me back home
–
wandering-
guided towards
your light
Patience
my heart held hostage
as a testament to your
faith in my return
—
waiting-
my heart
as collateral
Serenity
a paper lantern
carried aloft on the breeze
lights the evening sky
—
twilight-
illuminated by
a passing lantern
Migration
The loon framed against
A burnished copper sky flies
Towards the setting sun
Kilauea
Pele watches as
Pregnant clouds spill down over
The caldera’s rim
Beginning
Darkness enshrouds me
While subtle forces gently
Send me toward the light
Pullman
Rolling through the night
The rhythm of the train tracks
Rocking us to sleep
Wisp
Dusk in the forest
Eerie tendrils of blue light
Draw me in deeper
