Strayed Sheep

...

Reigning in cluster the edge of steep scarp,
the flock of mine sprawls so very proud.
I’m a meek loner in the midst of them all,
for each one is happy to be in the crowd.

My Love Laanna- -

Rain Harp

...In the rain, I play the harp
by the higher edge of a scarp
to see the crestfallen town down there
as sunless souls can't sing joy into the air

Miraculous notes pierce the melancholic skies

The Dogwood

...The blood and lapis daylight sets
in ether. How the mind resets
