Whispering Magic

  

A Book of Stars

she carried
a book of stars
on this morning
filled with snow egrets
standing
in silence
unbroken glance
into lush wetlands
along the side
of an empty road
a giant oak
filled with the song
of lark sparrows
perched high
against a sky
filled with stars

Summer Solstice

honey moon
just like me
alone in its light…

 

midnight-
the honey moon
rolls down her cheeks

 

evening breeze
the leaves of a maple
just let go

 

evening breeze the way it rolls sparrow song

 

wind through the trees
wave after wave
of ocean

 

mountain wind
I strum a tune
of ocean blues

 

mountain road
leading the way
a single bluejay

 

mid-afternoon
the monarch
that came to visit

 

first light of morning
an orchestra of bird song
tuning up treetops

 

azure sky
hummingbird and I
dance in rainbows

 

rosemary-
the way the sun sets
across her back

Petals and Ash

cicada song
I change
my perspective

bougainvillea
tipsy from champagne
and his kiss

dragon statue
a lost childhood
never protected

swaying palms
I forget
what day it is

pink skies
a heavy breeze
of wildfires
