centered in stillness
petals shape light and shadow
form becomes a star
Bird on an Island
lonely bird afloat
drifts on a frozen island
ice melts, time moves on
Imagine
imagine the world
seen through a butterfly’s eye
beauty magnified
Sunnyside Down
the sun descending
casting shadows long and vast
on sunnyside’s past
Picnic Shade
the pines lullaby
soft and low, a picnic shade
bathed in sunset’s glow
Silver Treasures
antique silverware
wrapped inside a baby’s bib
found when grandma died
Calm Before The Storm
calm before the storm
along the marsh and tall grass
stillness has no name
Drifting Iceberg
from glacial shore stance
watching a drifting iceberg
float past frozen toes
Southern Gothic
echoes from geckos
revivals, southern bibles
overgrown tombstones
