As Daylight Turns To DuskAs afternoon fades
and the shadows grow longer
daylight turns to dusk
As daytime slowly comes to end,
and twilight spreads across the sky;
the stars in heavens thus ascend.
As daytime slowly comes to end,
the birds in trees the night to spend,
for in the darkness do not...

Magical Ocean Hswaves gently caress
washing ashore sea treasures ~
beach scavenger hunt
a flock of seagulls
swoop and steal beach crustaceans ~
crab delicacy
a warm ocean breeze
wafts of beach roses and brine ~
sweet salty essence
dark ocean water
dance and reflect in moonlight ~
a calming cadence
the magical ocean beach ~
hidden beauty within reach

End TimesAs the gold leaves on the ginkgo fall,
Upon the cold autumn earth.
I think how the winter winds
Sound, as they whip as if in mirth.
Winter is upon us, cold lies ahead.
Can we bear the storms of aging?
I can't help but those dread.
Sometimes I feel like raging.
Dear...

The Green-Eyed WomanIn winter’s grasp, an aging woman stands
Emerald eyes like jewels gleam
Slightly touched by the passing of time
But a lifetime etched 'pon her wrinkled hands.
Her pressured youth has long passed
Yet grace and compassion are retained
Wisdom gained through joys and tears
Reflected...

As Summer Fades To Fallthe days get shorter
as summer gives way to fall
change is in the air
As leaves descend from limbs above
of crimson red and amber gold,
they blanket ground with nature’s love.
As leaves descend from limbs above,
through crisp air wings a mourning dove,
and makes her way through fall’s unfold
as...

The Waltz of Timea celestial dancer,
through the veil of existence,
paints the cosmos with hues unseen
illuminating constellations
auroras bow,
the moon dances to dawn’s blush,
twilight casting shadows upon the land
where miracles bloom.
Enchantress watch,
the universe bends to your will....

You would trust me and...

Drop Your Music Into My SoulStep into my silence, hear my tune
drop your music into my soul
carry parts of me not my whole
absorbed Self would fail to your core attune.
To your magic spell I’m not immune
as with your songs I long to stroll
Step into my silence, hear my tune
drop your...

Spring Morning early rising sun
hovering over the hills ~
my heart skips a beat
the welcome presence
of thrushes in the garden ~
ethereal tunes
purple clematis
adorns the wooden trellis ~
fragrant elegance
fluttering of wings ~
butterflies adapt to wind’s
choreography
it is late; my work must start
with reluctance I depart

The Break of a New Mornthe aura of day
appears on the horizon
a new morning breaks
As sun peeks through my window pane
and song birds sing their morning hymn
that echo of the day’s refrain
as sun peeks through my window pane.
With hues of amber pink attain
today the sky is dressed so prim;
as sun...
