Thick smoke drifts everywhere
Dark eyes behind hair

Snow falls,
drifts in the wind

like feathers in a pillow fight
fluffy.

Premium Member Luskentyre Shores

Bedazzled am I,
dancing to ancient rhythms 
on western windblown shores 
where drifts of machair colours 
this wearied soul restores.

Butterfly and Bird

Fluttering colour
Kaleidoscope rainbow
Drifts the summer breeze

A lofty tourist
Explores the dizzying clouds
A feather in flight

Snow pure white, whispering~ Fragile beauty as I walk the path. All is silent . . . Powder snow, quiet, drifts.

fog drifts through the woods
                   hovering above the hill
                  searching for something

Letters

Your letters, soft
Like water, rain
With them, 
My soul drifts as a bird 
Like The shadows of trees
they will not leave me
But to return

Premium Member Memories fade

Soft light drifts away,
broken thoughts like curling smoke,
meaning fades to air
brushing past my fingertips,
silent whispers lost in mist.
