Silver bridge
In freezy day
Lone walker and dog leave their path behind...

Frames your face
Shapes your smile
Dances when you chuckle
Breathes on chord of wind
Covers, envelops, enshrouds 
With strands and strings

UNKNOWN STILLNESS 7


To go where
The deeper darkness
Enshrouds mystery
Where fear and control slide away
In the unknown path
Of inner stillness
Even peace

The moon pours through my window
Shedding light unstained
Yet reveals so many things also
It's magic left unfeigned

The stars are often hidden
Relaxed behind the clouds
To some they are forbidden
Covert they remain enshrouds...

Untitled
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

With ash grey silence the moon enshrouds us,
Few stars are observed and clouds are a plus.

A fog’s mantle melts as first light appears,
And the Heavens spill off a sudden burst of tears.

When I look out on a fog-swept night
Of black abysses and milky light
Seamlessly, softly inter-curled,
In human knowledge I see the world.

For the boundless pit of the human plight
Enshrouds the knowable, stops our sight,
Save where bursts from the light below
Speak the insatiable quest to know....

Many ambiguous verses of my life
Define not well, the man, the me
No understanding of existence
No, nothing clear that I can see
Like fog that enshrouds the world within
I cannot see through, clearly past
But one day maybe, words will come
That will describe me clearly, I hope at last...

“The woods are lovely, dark, and deep. . . “ Robert Frost


These woods are deep. Tonight they are not dark, though,
for a fog enshrouds me, but unlike Robert Frost,
who stopped with awe to watch his forest fill with snow,
I’m filled with dread. My car went dead, and I am lost!...

Dream Time
Written: by Tom Wright
1/19/2016

Sleep is the comforter of the mind,
A period of time when realism vanishes;
While in our element we misplace our identity,
And all thoughts become counterfeit.
Pleasant Drams
Jesus Loves You!


As ebon night enshrouds the trees
It’s signaling me to catch some zzzzzzzz

The sunrays huddles beneath clouds
Horizon as still night enshrouds.

The busy city starts to sleep
As clouds still continues to weep.

Late-night passerby most gracious
Passengers restlessly anxious.

The evening trolley-car arrives
Passengers bound to their home lives.

Within hearts and life paradise
Fervent souls with their sacrifice.

I lay in bed by the window side at night,
gazing into the gleaming eyes of enchantress - the moon.
She casts a spell of sweet dreams with her shimmering light
and a serene slumber enshrouds me, a magical boon.
A world full of colorful fantasies come to life and I swoon.

'Ritz Tower, Night' 1920's      Painted by Georgia O'Keefe




They closed the day behind them, and scurried to the hive
Inside a honeycomb of cells, a filing cabinet filled of lives
The night in black and blue enshrouds the city's tallest mast
As evening beckoned heads to rest, with yellow window glass
That overlooks the narrow streets, from a tower of the past

FIRE CLOUDS OF GOD’S DECISION

O haloed rainbow of precision
At more than 57 degrees of elevation
Brilliant fire circumhorizontal arcs
With prismatic hexagons of God’s decision 

The Creator places those high altitude cirrus clouds
With plate-shaped ice crystals for angel crowds
A superlative fire rainbow dazzles my hazel eyes
Scientific accuracy of season, height and ice enshrouds

I knew long before I saw your face
Just how truly beautiful you must be
Still, though pictures show your beauty
It does not compare to that which is unseen
But, rather felt through your kindness
Through your words, through those things
Said and conveyed by your loving heart
A picture may say a thousand words
But, your thousand words, my friend, show more
Than your picture, as that beautiful face
Enshrouds the beauty of your mind and heart...

In the night sky, a full moon-
it's beauty will be gone soon
and hidden by drifting clouds
creeping- grey stillness enshrouds.

And I lay in bed waiting
as moon baths me in bright light,
I feel it soothing my soul
until-  behind grey it fades.

SIX SENRYUS=ONEPOEM
When the day is done
The Suns work is o’er and
 Light glides down the wall

In shadow deep lie
Souls asleep..adrift at peace
Dark enshrouds us all

The Earth in somber
Majesty spins round about…
Light slides up the wall

Refreshed by sleep
Wake most of us…most of us
But not quite all

Some will never wake
To see…a new dusk or dawn
Their souls will travel on

Nothing stays the same
Angel dust is what we are
…Every one and all…

DAD’S FAITH

At the end, there were too many days
And dust, not from his own plodding.

The warmer memories of his best days
In ways fell past; now there was nodding.

I’d heard of those with greater faith,
But had really nothing to compare;

Ill health had reduced him to a wraith,
Though he didn’t much seem to care.

Spring stood empty, but the sky held clouds, 
So the cold rain came as no surprise.

He left us bereft, memory enshrouds;
I can still see the faith in his eyes....
