drifted about on a log

next to an arbor

Endless freedom found!

Like the bare tree in fall, I stand aloof and lonely. My heart frozen.

Brown Cottontails

There was once some brown cottontails 
They hopped on a boat with sails
They drifted away
Out into the sea
They were lost in a big gale

The Drift

The moon was
not enough
Wrapped in silk
It drifted from
her pocket

Leaving trail
in ripples
casting itself
deep in
unfathomable  sky

The hosts of heaven
Yearn for God’s children, daily.
Where have they drifted?

In river of dreams

floating past our histories

we drifted along

swept up in life mysteries

off edge of reality

Premium Member An Unfettered Balloon

Alone with his thoughts, he drifted
Carried by a chorus of 
     Palm tree melodies
Warmed by a yellow star 
     An unfettered balloon
Seeking nothing

Premium Member drifted

Soft

A space

Between the

Spaces where I find

You, breathless ... broken

Bare and beautied

Upon your reef

I am bound

In ruin.

Gold butterfly dreams came late one mulberry night Pretty, pale moon scenes. She'd drifted off at twilight with tome on a magic flight.

Forgotten

So many days, 
So many moons
Have drifted down and by
still and calmly.

Like these 
Forgotten kisses
Under the grey shade
Of Mahogany in
A summer day.

She Must of Been a Bonfire

She must of been,
 a bonfire,
The way the drifters,
Drifted,
To her love,
And the warm dress,
Of her ethereal,
embers,
Upon,
The golden shore

Premium Member Who am I

Knowing not who in truth we are,
rudderless we’ve drifted afar,
yet anytime we may reclaim
inner light as soul’s claim to fame,
shining brightly like the North Star.

Stolen Moments of Grace

exhausted
she lay on the bed
arms over her head
shut her eyes to the gathering dusk
wishing for softness in sound
and touch
she drifted away
stolen moments of grace

YOU
were the love of my life 
if only I had spoken up 
and told you then 
now we have drifted miles apart 
married started our own families 
that leaves no room for us

Premium Member Long Lost Love

Premium Member Winter Bride

ice sheen
sighs, frosty sense
bright clean

frosty sand
dunes drifted high
white strand

tidal
pools, frost murmur
bridal

Reflection

Touch me reflection
let me feel the nothing
in your grotesque
moulded water undulates
shadows swims
the amber fades
something in the drifted lights
and beauty finds the shape
