A harsh dampness is instilled
Chrysanthemum weeps

a moth of fervent purpose
     becomes another's-
  diamond lattice glinting
  before a hunter’s moon...

Sunlight filtering
on moss dampness that blankets
the silent forest.

Gray thickness coats all
Cool dampness penetrates morn
Mocking Bird chatters
Soon sun will chase away fog
Cotton clouds float gingerly  ...

Sun
Sometimes
Shines brightly
After the rain 
Stops

Fog
Follows
The dampness
After the sun
Goes

STEPPING    OUT




Stepped out this morning after many torrid days.
Stillness and dreeping dampness met my gaze.
Trees above thankful for the welcome swallow.
I too breathed deep a welcome here  below....

Chrome meets sun;
a slick reflection

Salt and grit;
smooth surface;lined

Body scuffed;
marked;textured

Dampness green;
always forgiving of nature.

Hairs stand on end;
obscurity march
in procession...

Feelings of the rain gone by,
The dampness in the ground,
The dust and dirt gone from the sky
And newness all around.

Then again wetness falls
Awakening the fact
These birds that sing are heralding
Summers final act....

Menacing dark clouds
Sky covered in gray shawl
Sun peaks through then gone
Hope does not linger
Rain will continue

Mountain ridge of
Army tank green
Light soft beauty 
Crown of dark clouds

Beheld gift
Of beauty
For moment

Dampness

Green Trees to calm our nerves.
Fresh Air to soothe our lungs.
Dampness to cool our heads
and Comfort to fuel our tongues.

Branches to free our notions
and storm clouds to feed our soul.
Black rain to fill us up again
and raped wind to make us whole....

Heavy frost, below freezing tempertures
Have denuded some trees
The pale pink running roses frozen sure
No longer the flutter or buzz of bees
Winter winds only thing to endure
Heavy over hanging clouds dampness
A lone buzzard flies
Irony spring buds adorn trees......

The creek rise rolled in mixed with fog
Dampness coats shrubs and trees
Morning Doves sing through it all
Yet no sound from the bees

The fog settles over the snow
Icy rain falls, no-where to go
Everything is close, can’t see far
Shields of white and gray, set the bar
Of what to see, this winter day
But dampness cannot find a way
To reach the heart, that glows inside
Waiting for weather to subside

June 
Marched in
With the bright, blazing sun
It takes away the cold
And slips in
The warmth
It tiptoes around
On the hot, burning ground
But it doesn't gallop away
It stays there
Till summer fades
Then it sneaks 
Back in the cold, dampness
And limps around
In the snow
Till it melts 
Away...

looking back when i was growing up
i can fondly remember the subtle breeze 
so fine and smooth
as a dandilion blowing underneath 
a weeping willow tree
i shall remember grasshoppers with one leg
i pleasantly smell the dampness 
of a butterflies cocoon under the porch
crab apples and then
it's spring again...

Arms wrap softly around her now
How long it has been since
She came to taste of the great love,
And  of His love convinced

Cool morn's air coats both writer and 
Chair, fog's dampness coats all
The gentle breeze pleasant as dew
It's cool presence enthrall

In dampness of night
Ghosts play in the candlelight
Their shrieks cloud the sky
They have translucent bodies
To move in and out of things

Ghosts stirring around
Carrying with them great fear
That moves them forward
Screaming with your heart inside
Laughing at your awesome fear

Streetlight buttercups
Cluster in the big city cloud.
Morning hungry bear, a great grey sloucher,
Frowning at the houses, scratches at the walls.
A plague of raindrops plunges down,
Cruel and malevolent, pecking at people and cars.
Out of the misty dampness, umbrellas grow quickly,
And small children float by....
