Beach

Sunset on the dunes
Sibilant whispers whirl from
The wind in the reeds

Pond

a box turtle’s shell
barely breaking the surface
gently making waves

Ephemeral

As midnight’s tide ebbs
The wet sand saves our footprints
But for a moment

The Road

Rivers of blacktop
Streaming towards infinity
But going nowhere. 

Tears

Tiny rivulets
Reveal traces of pink skin
Down her dirty cheeks

Dew

beads of morning dew
glisten on blades of grass like
jewels in the dawn

Flood

Unburdened release
Angry swollen torrents rage
Surging towards the sea
