Fountain
where lilies bloom
violets, reds and whites
their soft whispers like God’s finger
touched them
---------------------------
Snowflakes
perch on bare trees
dazzling under sun’s light
nature’s gift an awesome prism
white gems
---------------------------
Pillow
my closest mate.
when I lie down to sleep
in my dreams, looking out. I cry
alone.
The bond
that holds us tight
are memories of him
and me, our heads pressed close- on one
pillow.
--------------------------------
Old man
fine lines of age
threading their way around
corners of his eyes, break into
a smile
-------------------------------
Voices
children humming
melodies, they're beacons
flashing bright before night gives way
to day
