“Christmas lights”

Christmas lights

House, dressed in white lights, /

whispers to the fading sun: /

return to me.

Photo finish Friday: “Night”

Night

Cold, crisp, brittle night. /

Clouds left with the light and wind, /

bundled in small warmth.

“Whisper”

Whisper

On a cold night,

hot cocoa and eggnog bread.

Memories whisper.

“Zen”

Zen

Zen comes to breakfast, /

debating all as she chews. /

Truth is the next bite.

One cold November /

one Blue jay grabs one peanut /

one day in winter.

Feast

Birds flock the railing, /

feast on seeds in a cold day. /

as the sun fades.

“Morning”

Morning

Red, fall sky erupts, /

silhouetting naked limbs /

in trees and in me.

“Oak leaf”

Oak leaf

One brown oak leaf — /

among autumn’s many gifts /

and cold promises.

Shadows

Sharp morning shadows /

cut across the waiting world, /

palimpsest the dog.

“Hear”

Hear

The sound of no sound. /

The quiet voice of no voice. /

Hear one fall leaf fall.
