baby birds flutter outside window reminding me to fly
____________________
beneath facade of lies awaits truth
____________________
autumn sun awakens baby fawn nestling next to sibling
____________________
calm waters baptize fruits of my sins
____________________
dead-wood trees sway lifelessly in winter winds
____________________
fragrant poppies blow freely in a spring breeze
____________________
silver star sky shimmers over flowing Atlantic ocean
____________________
harbored screams echo within winter winds
____________________
tiny sink-hole in ground: perfect hiding place for wayward mole

lions roar in cages containing their anger
____________________
purple roses bloom beautifully in gardens of stone
____________________
wind-scattered leaves broken branches the storm is now calm
___________________
spring's kiss gently caresses my dormant heart
___________________
footprints in sand convey existence
____________________
words spoken from his soul embrace mine
____________________
kitchen table: family gathers to argue
____________________
forest is quiet croaking frog the only sound
____________________
light summer rain falls quietly reminding me how alone I am
