Avoidance
in grape arbor
a cardinal seeks shelter
from the driving rain
–
secluded
deep within
my wine glass

Salvation
drowning in darkness
heaved out and left on the rocks
gasping for the sun
–
sinking…
yearning for
the surface
Fatalism
I wake intent on
fighting an uphill battle
I know I will lose
–
high tide
a turtle shell
lies empty
Transience
jewels of morning dew
in a spider’s web, sunrise
scattered by diamonds
–
dawn
captured on
a silken thread
Downstream
strong flowing rivers
carry meadows and mountains
away to the sea
–
april rains…
roaring brooks
become brethren
Communion
iPhone vibrating
mocking my attempt to be
at one with nature
–
meditation
water threading
between my toes
Deluge
a flash of lighting
tears the fabric of the night
letting in the rain
–
wet brilliance
slicing through
shadows
Drenched
after the rain storm
mossy scent of wet pavement
steaming in the heat
–
suddenly
heavy raindrops
bursting
Anger
a cold rain shower
washes down my upturned face
hiding bitter tears
–
cloudy
dark and moody
raining together
Mirage
a mirror’s surface
where the water meets the shore
ripples in the wind
–
cat tails
growing in and
out of the water
