On Taking Turns

Our spring bird’s about to be sprung. But often, before she has sung, that rude man called Summer struts in like a bummer and belts at the top of his lungs.

Train Stop

Far away the tunneled darkness– close at hand the air. Near behind a silent formless feeding on the fair. Here before me pours a curtain: cloaking-mists of rain that lead on to a world uncertain… joyfulness or pain. All I know’s the slickened sidewalk down the path I’ve been glows with electric, lifeless light-stock I’ll […]

Satisfied

Let the world of glory-seekers go with wealth and want ungratified, or find their treasure like a dearest beau in colored chaos under rainbows wide. I’ll be glad on islands, owing One. Oh, bring me sunset in a cup, the same I’ve had before. Tip o’er my soul and fill it up and let the […]

Envoys

The day may come when all the clouds burn with fallout fire; when trees are ash-slips standing frail against the poison winds. When earth worms wriggle earthily fat and undistrubed. When suburbs smolder worthlessly into elements. When even rain is acid spray and puddles mirror stone. When all the earth is washed of man scrubbed […]

Waiting Wintertime

tension tingles in the air, beads of frozen iron. All the talk’s of fronts, of air, cold, precipitation. Weather there’s an in-between the now and what is coming it might as well have never been against the future numbing frost and frozen water drops white as tufted ice-balls. We rush to board up home and […]

The Choice

Kitty sits arrested on the fence, paused like stone between the either-way of going right toward forest trees and manse or left as far as empty fields can say. Now one may wonder how a single cat who’s busiest moments doze in lazy sleep, would ever need to plan just where he’s at or ponder […]

Though Sunlight Wanes

Sure though the light that led me through the day and hastens quickly to its wint’ry bed should deign to paint the clouds like kids at play: spilling flame and orange overhead, and though the shadows gath’ring round would dance their undulating coldness as the wane of mirthful brightness turns at last askance and closes […]

Winter Birds

They fly the sky in style fletching waspish cloud, winging raven calls through quiet to nests now full and loud. – The sky’s a little fuller with ravens in the air; proof the world will go on twirling ever live and fair. – – – Photo by Lidia Stawinska on Unsplash

Come to Us

God, only God boundless as the wind wide as heaven’s sky, You, only You can make us filled within can be our what, our why. – We long for peace and grasp at wrath and war, seizing all You “no’s”. We long for love, rest from sad and sore, joy and full release. – Grace […]

Country Road Walk

There’s a rhythm roar to traffic flow that’s rushing down the road. Stillness pricked by growing wind heavy on the ear that swishes into vortex speed a roaring soaring blast whipping wind as it roars past, receding faintly, quick now echoing to swishing tickle whisper . . . gone. as quiet fills the sonic holes […]
