winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Cover
an unseen rabbit
eyes the fox suspiciously
from beneath the hedge
–
hidden-
the rabbit spies
a hungry fox
Wane
the cricket’s refrain
raspy in the evening woods
fades as the night falls
–
evening woods-
crickets fade
as midnight nears
Serenity
a paper lantern
carried aloft on the breeze
lights the evening sky
—
twilight-
illuminated by
a passing lantern
Together
sitting on the beach
lines trailing off from writing
our names in the sand
Or
warm beach-
our names
in the sand
Introspection
often I frequent
my mind’s darker recesses
to search for solace
Or
in the dark corners
of my mind
seeking peace-
Destiny
Peace is elusive
But a respite from the past
Would suffice for now
Shadows
a shaft of sunlight
pierces the dirty window
and falls to the floor
Paint
the old man’s brushes
with fluid movements coax life
out of the canvas
