Confronting Shadows
in the spring, when petals praise
within the song of grace who’ll amaze
beneath the silence of a gentle bud
there is a power, power in the blood
in the summer, when stories reveal
hope so sacred, sacred enough to heal
beyond the sun grows a life of wonder
singing exultation in the raging thunder
in the autumn, when leaves begin to weep
there...

Summer's End
Burning like fever in the spring
our love affair was on the wing
then drifted away on the summer wind
now I'm thinking of you
how good it used to be
holding on to precious memories
and every teardrop has a tale to tell
every teardrop fills a wishing well
changing like autumn leaves that fall
your love it comes and goes
then melts away...

Sweet Autumnal Melody: Double Swap QuatrainAutumn sings, a sweet melody,
Dressed splendidly, as a lady,
Waving away, the dreams of springs,
A sweet melody, autumn sings.
Night absorbs, the lights of the day,
The dreams of springs, waving away,
Pale white moon, shining like an orb,
The lights of the day, night absorbs.
Mystic autumn, showering boon,
Shining like an orb, pale white moon,
Earth delights, becoming wholesome,
Showering boon, mystic...

Morning Ritual;AutumnOutside the trees are called
by the Autumn’s breeze.
The door isn’t perfectly shut
as the leaves seep through
the uneven cracks.
The whistling tune from
Nature’s broken karaoke
machine finds its way under
the door. Slowly the shadows
become dimmer as the morning
sun sets in and the birds begin
to chirp as the crickets causes
a ruckus enough to wake
the subconscious mind from
sleeping internally.
The...

When Autumn SpeaksWhen leaves drop heavy as unsent
Letters upon the dampened earth,
I taste the copper in cold air—
Your warmth dissolved in autumn's dearth.
October fog wraps ash-grey threads
Around the words we left for dead,
Each syllable a weighted stone
That settles in my chest alone.
But winds grow cold where shadows climb,
Where promises dissolve in time,
And hours spill like wine uncorked—
Each...

Autumn TwilightAs I look out upon the heavens,
a great sight meets my eyes,
as I look upon the sky.
Twilight has come.
Oh! Wonderful twilight
stretching across the sky!
The song of an unspoken beauty,
the dance of a graceful painting,
the colors of a gentle wave.
Pink, tinged across the blue,
bands of color floating lazily about,...

Year After YearLet the rain fall through the town
From the hills, all around
Watch the flowers grow in sync
They'll stand tall but don't you blink
Then the time of laugh and cheer
Which will never disappear
Fog stays the most of all
Soon after the leaves fall
The chilling age in time is here
With snowfall always near
The year repeats time again
But the...

The Loudest Silence
in the air, just after the storm
there is a stillness,
changing the heart, the soul
so wherever light falls
there are shadows of regret
reflected in the music
the rhythm of serenity
fading beneath the sea of grief
wisdoms shame our deeds
as the stars reveal each pitiful
pleasure, each intimate gesture
in the air, after the storm
in the hesitation of a silent melody
in the...

Indigo MoodIndigo Mood
Skies azure chilling
Birds freely gliding
Zealous hues
Indigo mood
Short drive around town
Growing up in a small house
Fall burnt colors
Leaves wonder everywhere
Miscellaneous places
Afternoon walks
Independent thoughts
Songs travel on
Melody through smiles
Past paint brush fields...
