winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Downstream
strong flowing rivers
carry meadows and mountains
away to the sea
–
april rains…
roaring brooks
become brethren
Evening
burnt umber thickets
briars silhouetted by
a russet sunset
–
brambles
illuminated by
the dying day
Pact
a feather’s tip nicks
the torn paper’s ragged edge
bleeding bright black ink
–
an obligation
the contract
signed in blood
Disruption
afternoon stillness
the piercing cry of a crow
hanging in the air
–
wooded path…
unintended
silence
Fantasy
lilacs in her hair
as she lays in the grass with
clouds floating whimsy
–
escapees from
my minds eye
in the clouds
Convergence
escaping out of
my self constructed prison
into your embrace
–
bourbon
ice cubes
slowly melting
Safety
in the forest glen
a dappled fawn lies hidden
in the underbrush
–
shrouded
cloaked within
our own narrative
Nostalgia
living in the past
reaching out for the echoes
of what used to be
–
wistful
remembering the way
things never were
