winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Dust
We of painted clay
Molded from the living earth
Destined to return
Flock
Birds take flight en masse
Forming paintings in the sky
For just a moment
Reminiscence
Smoke borne on the wind
Transporting me to the hearth
Of my childhood home
Subside
Final autum leaves
Serenely drifting downward
Seasoning the earth
Transience
Iridescent swirls
On the film of a bubble
Dance before bursting
Passage
The vessel broken
one soul escapes to freedom
with a final breath
Snow
The outside world
Muffled by the gentle sound
Of the falling snow
Passion
Our love together
Once bathed in fire, now kept warm
By an ember’s glow
