winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Renewal
lacy wings dry while
the husk of its former self
tumbles to the ground
–
an oak seedling
seeks purchase
in the leaf litter
Aura
when I’m in shadow
you pull me into the light
and show me the sun
–
old driftwood
a salamander
basking
Deceit
tiny little lies
the mortar between the stones
of my foundation
–
morning
glistening on
silken threads
Currents
swaying water grass
iridescent dragonflies
hover in the breeze
–
gusting wind
ripples in
the lavender
Waterfall
long flowing tresses
cascade down from her shoulders
swirling at her feet
–
running
fast and free
into the future
Eventide
the sun’s departure
as the day draws to a close
burns the ombré sky
–
fireflies
against the
dawn of night
Tranquility
after the bowl sings
so peacefully sits the monk
in meditation
–
calm water
reflective of
inner peace
Bigotry
the thinnest veneer
of our civilization
so easily torn
–
scissors-
crisp, fresh
white sheets
