Ions

Amber, violet sky

so far away

climbing in the clouds

watching leaves

drying out

still dancing on a breeze

memories

Metallic grey, blue, turquoise

on a string

Peach and violet circles

ring

All flecks

just ions in my eyes

  

Our Sweet Morning

Our sweet morning

began the journey

together

Your trust a prize

earned steadily

readily

You taught me letting go

wins true affection

In patience, grows love

Our sweet morning

you followed me

you chose me

as your home

In our last sweet morning

unbeknown

I gazed at you

and then above

Thanking Heaven

In Loving Memory of Willow
2009-October 7, 2022

Fluttering Wings

Small grey wonders
fluttering on my window sill
today of all days

Turn their head as if to say
it's okay, it's okay

They flutter away
to the tree
showing me

How to let go
in the sunshine

  

Amber Pale

What I see staring back at me

Colors amber, violet

Pale with vivid centers

Silent as a sunset

speaking volumes of doubt

Behind silhouettes of hills

and waves upon the sand

Fog folds inward

on itself

As the search

concludes
