casting shadows long and vast
on sunnyside’s past

the pines lullaby
soft and low, a picnic shade
bathed in sunset’s glow

wrapped inside a baby’s bib
found when grandma died

can bear almost any how

street theater spreading peace
all you need is love

 

Beauty & Benefits

glorious driftwood
a once strong, handsome tree, now
new life springs from thee

 

Calm Before The Storm

CALM BEFORE THE STORM

calm before the storm
along the marsh and tall grass
stillness has no name

 

Drifting Iceberg

DRIFTING ICEBERG

from glacial shore stance
watching a drifting iceberg
float past frozen toes

PURPLE CONEFLOWERS

you brought me flowers
rousing, passionate color
in my sleepy face

echoes from geckos
revivals, southern bibles
overgrown tombstones
