winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
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
History
continuity-
ancient traditions upheld
for generations
–
lichens on stone-
the huron pine
adds another ring
Workers
fields of wildflowers
fastidiously tended
by hard working bees
–
summer afternoon-
nectar turning
to honey
Ocean
the sun reaching down
tenderly kissing the edge
of the atlantic
–
sandpipers-
morning waves
kiss my feet
Driven
quarter past midnight-
the breath of the city through
my open window
–
leafless trees-
darkened cars through
the driving rain
the full moon unveiled
from behind translucent clouds
poised for summer’s kiss
–
an owl’s call-
the full moon
follows me home
