winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Orlando
blinded by hatred
enrobed in the ignorance
of what love can be
–
midnight-
groping for
the light
Orlando
what makes one man think
he can be judge, jury, and
executioner
–
monsters
in the closet
only a mirror
Muffled
shouting at the void
trying to keep the silence
from smothering me
–
rain falls
on a carpet
of autumn leaves
Heat
deep in the furnace
liquid glass, hotter than fire
waits for the artist
–
blown glass…
a moment
frozen in time
Fleeting
iridescent wings
hover over a flower
as I stand entranced
–
awestruck…
nature
at her finest
Refuge
silently stoic
the weathered lighthouse still stands
off in the distance
–
the setting sun
barely visible
through the fog
Peace
the wellspring of souls
beckons inexorably
for us to return
–
the bodisattfa
compassionately
delays nirvana
Gaia
bobcats and black bear
mark their territory in
the suburban wild
–
predawn-
awakened again
by coyotes
