Premium Member As Daylight Turns To Dusk
As 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...

Premium Member Magical Ocean Hs
waves 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

Premium Member End Times
As 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...

Premium Member The Green-Eyed Woman
In 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...

Premium Member As Summer Fades To Fall
the 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...

Premium Member The Waltz of Time
a 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....

Drop Your Music Into My Soul
Step 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...

Premium Member 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

Premium Member The Break of a New Morn
the 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...
