Waterfront Frolic
Come play with me
where sky and earth
meet clouds and sea
and moss drapes
the branches
while we can wander
along rocky beaches
and skip stones
over cold ripples
while our noses
turn red and cold
and a chill breeze
whispers
through the trees
Play Time
A game of chase
and hopping rocks
as laughter
fills chill air
to caress the ears
in sounds of joy
as what was once
a game of tag
becomes
hide and seek
and the little cheat
bounds between rocks
into spaces too small
for me to follow
Just A Little More
Day’s end comes
with sinking sun
and as light dies
time to sleep
arrives
but I don’t
want it to end
lets play
a little longer
as greedily
I seek
just a little more time
with you
I Am The Evergreen
Porcupine quills
should hurt
but in the
winter cold
the prick of needles
is only
a touch of pressure
upon the skin
I am brittle
but strong
and I will
continue to grow
thrive and survive
