“Light gone”

Light gone

Light through your window, /

early morning, but you’re gone. /

No shadow, sun alone.

“Flight”

Flight

While in flight /

even the ugliest bird /

exercises grace.

Wings

Wings turned to the sun, /

spreading gentle hymns to the light. /

Spring songs without words.

“The world”

The world

Over my shoulder, /

Earth is a small orb in space. /

Still, it fills my dreams.

“Breakfast”

Breakfast

Some bees feast among /

Spring flowers and fruit buds. /

Some feast on cat food.

Flames

Inflame your being, /

swell your foot and make it sting. /

Gout is a mean thing.

“Water flower”

Water flower

White Iris pedals /

Folded by the falling Spring /

Rise to catch the rain.

“Grieve”

Grieve

Grieve for no one. /

Stones grieve not for fallen trees, /

but welcome new friends.

“Kiss”

Kiss

Deep within spring clouds, /

beauty forms and floats away; /

born of a rain’s kiss.
