“Red”

Red

Color climbs to the sky. /

Fall red brushing the heavens. /

Soon to paint the earth.

“Future”

Future

Be not tomorrow. /

Flowers give their best now. /

The future has no eyes.

“Solitary”

Solitary

Cool, solitary room, /

occasional swaths of light

and slow ceiling fan.

“Butterfly”

Butterfly

When I see a butterfly,

I think of you.

Not because you flutter

And onto other flowers move.

No, you are more steady

Than that,

A Gardner’s steady

In a wide brimmed hat.

Turning the soil

And amending where needed

So the butterflies will come

To the flowers seeded.

They know not the beauty

Of your touch.

Only the beauty

Of summer’s flower rush.

I think of you

When I see butterflies,

Fluttering up and around

Reaching for the bright blue sky

Then swooping back to your prepared ground.

.

.

For Beth

“Sometimes”

Sometimes

Sometimes, what I see, /

heavy yet light in the sky, /

are moments of you.

“Mischievous”

Mischievous

Fall’s dappled sunlight /

mischievously highlights /

a gray and white cat. /

“Window dressing”

Window dressing

Brown leaves on window, /

curled into an empty grip. /

Summer’s embrace gone.

Canopy

Trees and clouds above, /

canopy over the street. /

Shadows dance below.

Moment

The mirror reflects /

a moment ago, but also /

a moment to be.

“Morning”

Morning

Squirrel chatters. /

Mockingbird trills three times. /

Cat purrs quietly.
