Street seen
I wore shadows.
She wore light.
We met in the street.
The breeze played at painting us together.
The sun declined to stay.
For a moment,
As the light faded,
raindrops dappled, and the breeze whispered,
We were as one.

Window flower
Peeking through the glass, /
Orchid searches for the sun, /
seeking assurance.

Icarus
Icarus, soaring /
between the sunflower and /
the sun, hoping.

Waiting
Blackberry, once green, /
now red in the sun’s embrace; /
dark soon in glory.

Skyward
Desiring the Sun, /
the sunflower stretches up, /
renouncing the Earth.

The sun
Rising to the sun, /
sunflower reaches skyward, /
into its future.

Undone
That ol’ evening sun, /
fire settles, day is done, /
hope forgiven, then undone.

Purple Iris
Petals up and down /
Shining in the sun’s pleasure /
Bright beard on curled tongue.

Light gone
Light through your window, /
early morning, but you’re gone. /
No shadow, sun alone.

Bringing
Sun said to Iris: /
“I bring forth a new Spring day. /
You bring forth new life.”
