Camouflage

seems what it can seem,

                 really there, although unseen,

                       chameleon blends in.

Star Lights

Fireplaces are fresh,
Cups hold hot coffee
Flannel shirts,
Denim jeans.
Stars are night lights
Untouched snow found.

Twin Auroras

Streamers of smooth light--
luminous phenomenon
hovers the northern
and southern magnetic poles--
mesmerizing Auroras

Paper Aeroplanes

transient souls take offs and landings always going to other places paper areoplanes are ghostly things

Meet New Faces

don't sit

How many canes were broken?
How much pain teachers taken?
All the places calling schools 
To make these fools of fools

Eyes red unable to see

Fresh Wind

Unpredictable
By no direction of man
Angels spread their wings
And are carried by fresh wind
To places unknown, unseen

A Hiding Place

In tidy closets ~
  Coats hang peacefully,
Quiet, Muffled happiness,
  Beside little shoeboxes,
The cosiest of spaces.

    released into the air
       by a wish --
childhood dreams scatter
to places unknown

Peace 
we sow
grains so small
fonder that grow
in places for all.
Harvests we reap
love we heap
heartbeats'
feats.

Soon saw his fame grow,
From a gospel sound
To world-wide renown-
Ends suddenly in Memphis town.
