winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Realizations
I’ve struggled so long
stumbling through the darkness
blinded by the truth
–
awakening-
the light of
a false dawn
Rain
the patter of rain-
rocking to the rhythm of
the impending storm
–
on the porch-
the evening air
thick with rain
Rememberence
thoughts of the fallen-
those who purchased our freedoms
with their flesh and blood
–
old glory-
a red haze blinding
the dogs of war
Luna
weaver of moonlight
roses follow her footsteps
wherever she roams
–
asleep-
walking with
an absent moon
Crossing
hand in hand with you
standing by the river’s edge
watching the drawbridge
–
tinted sunlight-
walking across
a fallen tree
Azrael
wandering the earth
easing pain and suffering
collecting last breaths
–
a copse of trees-
bones
amid the litter
Defiance
northern white cedars
defying all odds, clinging
to the bare cliff face
–
crying gulls-
hatchling turtles
race to the sea
Ruin
shellshocked and bleeding-
wandering the husk of a
demolished building
–
floating ash-
Nothing left but
deafening silence
