Robins singing in the winter snow.
These precious memories of our valley
That the young folk...

Fond memories from the past unfold
Nostalgic dreams of bygone days
Of winter snows and summer haze.
The days when I was just a kid
And doing things that kids all did

After images behind objects that glow with an aura of effervescence,
cramped and unchanged and rotting away in the corners.
A mind held captive-
A nostalgia that...

Poplar PathwayStruggling to recall grandchildren's names,
you stammer in frustration,
stars of your mind grew faint,
in funereal shades of gray and black
fading void,
precious shards of memory,
cannot be retrieved ~
yet, a beloved dog of childhood,
running with a loll tongue,

RecollectionSwift and sweet, how memories rise
diamond- strung in a room of silver
Slick and sleek from a stormy world
solid tree trunks on a bell- clear morning.

choices
Icicles melt,
rains come and go.
Nature strikes us
deep with awe
at every show.
Whose turn to turn

fall prey to pity
or to grief.
Spread their wings
to finally fly
or face a silent grave...

Tourniquet- hemorrhage stanches
Crescent moon- gloaming...
