Day Stars

Wonderment

 

Wonderment

afternoon recess
they search for dandelions
on a mid spring day

high school formal
he suddenly realizes
the excitement of stars

away to college
they continue to write
of late summer nights

living abroad
the bittersweet taste
of tears and peaches

early summer breeze
the silkiness of her skin
and gently sea waves

blooming jasmine
the rhythms of their breaths
under a full moon sky

Falling Stars

star after star
how beautiful
are the fallen ones

Peaceful Stars

magnolia petals I breath in the first spring stars

Where Has My Inspiration Gone?

Where has my inspiration gone?
Away with the hawk cry
Perched on top of the Redwoods

Lost in the summer sunsets
Wild pink and blue fires
That faded into a billion stars

How could I turn my back on you?

The moment I watched
Tiny grey and black sparrows
Bathing in an old fountain

Moved to tears-
Their simple joy
And sweet vibrations

The young buck deep in the forest
We stared at each other
Eyes as curious as mine

I thought of Claude and knew God was near

The black squirrel
Bounding and dancing
Through the branches of aged Oaks

Where has my inspiration gone?

Only wandering…

Hawk cry,
Wild sunsets,
Curious buck,
Black squirrel

Claude’s last breath…

In God
In Me.

Deep Autumn

  

Iridescent Kisses

in the quiet
of late spring night
hearing the songs
of a thousand stars

egret wings
riding the sunset
those iridescent spaces
flowing through
the edges of my heart

taking in a bit of spring blackbirds in the cherry blossoms

among the cobwebs
that lie in the hayloft
a few rays of sun
flowing through your hair
and to my lips that spring day

spring mist
a lone lily pad
where are you frog…
rain clouds disappearing
into an endless blue sky
