Flee

I flee from myself, /

the I without the other, /

the other you made.

“I am”

I am

I can lose my place. /

Sometimes my place can lose me. /

Either way, I am.

“Embers”

Embers

Touched but not touching, /

the moon carries its embers: /

unrequited love.

Translucent

September sun shines /

through translucent oak leaves bathed /

with afternoon light.

Whispers

Thin clouds whisper words. /

Afternoon shadows my mind. /

Fall sun winks through trees.

“Breathe”

Breathe

Breathe in the moment. /

Breathe out the mind’s chatter. /

Breathe, to say the least.

“Two chairs”

Two chairs

We shall find ourselves, /

two chairs by an ageless sea, /

folding in our names.
