winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Evening
ephemeral rain-
bird songs echo from the trees
in the fading light
–
twilight-
a grove
of amber
Night
my open window-
from the red barn a white owl
asks me one question
–
transfixed-
the field mouse stares
at his death
Mud
dark murky waters
dirt and debris stirred up from
raking the bottom
–
cold rain-
a dark past
muddied by truth
Light
a time of rebirth-
years spent living in the dark
rescued by your light
–
through the water
dancing reflections
from the surface
Notes
second grade romance-
a slip of paper folded
and passed hand to hand
–
mardi gras-
her number on
a bar napkinL
Seas
waiting for the sea-
an ancient mariner mourns
the arriving tide
–
bedraggled skies-
limp with rain over
an unkempt sea
Café
a sidewalk cafe-
lunch forgotten as a crow
lands on my table
–
al fresco-
a rain drop
in my coffee
Waterfall
born of the mountains
falling over age worn stone
scattering the sun
–
summer solstice-
roaring water
fills my ears
