Heaven blessed her dirty tires 
As she rolled along highways 
Clinging to her faith

Desperation

Desperately clinging to the side of the mountain

Trying to hold on

Just one wrong move

In that moment it’s all gone!

Flakes
Cold, frozen
Flitting, swirling, snowing
Ice, snow, carrot, scarf
Rolling, clinging, building
Perky, fun

Autumn Waits

Autumn waits patiently,
peeking from behind the
clinging green of summer,
waiting to explode into
colorful exuberance again.

How to forget last night 
when I spent those silent hours with you,
when all through today
the scent of roses clinging to my hair.

There is a magic zing-- a nice warm cheer
When with eyes, a-twinkling
On soft shoulders, each-clinging
Two hearts attuned, are singing.

Clinging To This Branch

A tiny trail of
Fresh symmetrical
Water droplets,
Clinging to
This branch
What clever
Caterpillar is this
That glowing string of pearls

The Road To Autumn

I walk beneath
A canopy
Of dying leaves
Still clinging 
To the trees-
Down a path 
Of golden memories-
And follow-
Into autumn-
Where it leads-

Decorative Offspring

Clinging membranes grow baubles Encased, wood-like, hardened seeds Bough releases many fall Acorns dress the ground.

Feelings

Feelings…
like wisps of cobwebs clinging,
cannot be shaken away.

They lie there,
unwelcome and unbidden,
Like unwanted guests come to stay.

Staircase


Shadows
clinging to steps,
grain worn by years~
voice drifts between each tread,
pausing where the past often
hesitates

how did it get this far?

i'm at my wit's end
barely clinging to the last remaining illusion
~ hope being the rising sun

Pain Without Temptations

Chalk it up
To no reservations
Pain without
Temptations
Blessed burned
Beaten bloody
Clinging
To your shin
Mother
So what
If I can’t
Go on

Alone

I'm alone
Nobody is here for me
I am so lost
I need someone
I am sobbing
Hyperventilating
Clinging on
But nobody is here for me

Makes sense

In Secret


Clouds hang low on stained
footpaths slick with moss clinging
as vines of green. He
waits in rain for a quiet
rendezvous, hardly breathing.

clinging to hope
in beauty’s facade
does the leaf know its fate

Eyes

Father’s of sky blue
mother’s of deep hazel brown
a blend of the two
sunlight on dew in meadow
or moss clinging to the stone

her entire
hand gripped
my finger

with

i was
thinking 
she already
understands
that she
will be
a grand
