The world

Over my shoulder, /

Earth is a small orb in space. /

Still, it fills my dreams.

Light through your window, /

No shadow, sun alone.

Kiss

Deep within spring clouds, /

beauty forms and floats away; /

born of a rain’s kiss.

Flag

Wind whips, flag flaps, /

gray clouds bumble, tumble, rumble. /

Rain leaves empty eyes.
