Obscurity
...stars hide - muffled,
in a blizzard of flurries -
the screams of owls echo
through a once silent wood.
wet snow settles - frozen tears
on the skeletal arms
where oaks and maples shiver
and b...

On Our Beds
...Where we sleep there might be quilts
Or comforters or spreads
Or blankets made in varied styles
To warm us in our beds.
Some might prefer a cashmere throw
Or one hand-knit in wool,
While othe...

Lost Things
...Curtains flutter over the nursery sill,
Waiting for their mother to find
The coverlet tossed aside, hanging still,
Patiently expecting mother to right the spill,
The beds, empty, the windows, t...

oh, gentle keeper
...Oh, gentle keeper, lay me 'neath the earth's embrace,
Where willow branches whisper tales of grace,
Across the meadows, where daisies gently nod,
To my roots, to my home, to the arms of God.

Snow Walks
...It snowed last night
I awoke listening to the cold whisperings
of windblown flakes.
Peeking through the closed drapes
I can see that the snowfall fell just enough
to cover the base of the conc...

The Future Does Not Wait
...THE FUTURE DOES NOT WAIT

For you, me, or anyone
It has its private agenda
And no help to render
However bright the sun
For a few, it is just fate
The present remai...

Dusk Painted Pastures
...A dwindling light threads the dimming woods
into mist-coated shadows.
A stretch of gray-sheened water
reflects the phantom forms of homing wings,
skimming birds that must seek now

spiral onto a woodland coverlet.
Above, a rust tinged canopy
trembles on a warm breeze....

Tonight I sleep
in fields
Of crimson poppies
Sunset has
Come and gone
And I alone
Await dawn
With brothers

Rapturing the light of another splendid day
Wherein I have many noisome dragons slain.
Reintroducing me to a night of nagging pain

from over my garden's sleeping botanical beds.
Babes from crocus bulbs peek above the ground
on this sun filled morn, warmly greeted by golden rays...

who now is forlorn and upset
for something, she cannot forget.
She backed up- ran over her pet
while driving her brand new Corvette
and killed her d...

Across the coverlet over my bed
Some think the wispy image heavenly
I think of covering my sleepy head
Will fondly sleep another hour instead
