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
