listen
why am I awake?
the night promises answers
then Orion speaks

history

direct hit
tossed gently to me
I caught your slip of a smile
from across the room
to land in my heart
one step ahead
of your eyes

and it filled me...

valley
holding the silence
in a bowl of stone and sky
indigo shadows

sunday evening...

solitude
walking through dark trees
I hear twilight softly sing
while clouds burn above

caught words...

peek
there is no hiding
in a room full of shadows
from the moons full gaze

over 3 days...

Fred
dancing with the sun
crimson flash in the water
his world in a bowl

barely
air clear as water
walking light on the surface
I skim through the day

expand
on a hike today
the stillness entered my soul
and I filled the sky

wondering...

seen
keeping love hidden
why are we all so afraid
to let our guard down?
........................................

if you don't allow yourself to feel
you stop yourself from living

briefly...

in sync
black lace fluttering
over my head in twilight
a flock of birds dance

words on fire...

life ignited
burning from within
sparks fly from my skin
as the air explodes around me
sending my buried thoughts
madly spinning in the flames

just two...

look
caught in your own web
your eyes clouded with questions
I am always here


welcome
I greet this dark night
in a voice deep with found dreams
and stars on my tongue

deep night...

arrive
with a silent thrust
the walls are an illusion
night enters my room

both?

maelstrom
it swirls around me
am I the eye of the storm
or just lost in it

just blew in...

contact
whisper to my lips
the song from deep in your heart
I'll not tell a soul
...........................

explanation? none
cause? the clear horizon this evening
meaning? it is what it is

focused...

circle
living in the now
I see my path so clearly
a puzzle indeed

24th

near miss
from a waking dream...
reflections of your smile
in a stranger's eyes

daughter
her sunlit smile
playing laughter like a song
lost in that sweet sound

drawn out and...

stretched
to love/hate this light
this long blue autumn twilight
stirring up my soul

reaching for words...

an autumn wind
races through the trees
like my thoughts
through minutes of the day

to soar

expected...

still
so hard to let go
one look, sends me spiraling
and I have to laugh

still going...

fleeting
waiting on a friend
I watch the day leave the sky
sundogs and silver

a turn...

intimate
I heard it calling
cold voice of the autumn wind
vast, painful and sweet
