Small Joys
in the cloying
foggy wet
of an
evergreen forest
walk with me
among the trees
and lets play tourist
for with your hand
in mine
our shoes will
trod the path
and as water drops
drip from our hair
we’ll discover
hidden secrets
and laugh
Pleased
a little bit of work
a bit of spooky fun
a brief moment
of satisfaction
at a job well done
fleeting but there
the pleasure
in the moment
I just really want
it to linger
a bit longer tonight
Peaceful
a comfortable seat
and a bottle of water
are all I need
to sit here quietly
all day long
and watch
the clouds
as they transform
again and again
as they float by
on to see
new places
The Gray
I ache to feel
the spark
of desire
the tingle
of interest as
curiosity
catches fire
and yet
from within
there’s only
quiet
and a stillness
of exhausting
silence
Longing
clouds leave
light kisses
upon the land
like your lips
upon my scars
worshipful
and loving
feather light
and filled with
breathless
moments
of anticipation
Brain Fog
in a world
filled with
shades of gray
I long for
the bright flash
of a smile
that can shine
a light
that can
pierce through
the darkness
and clear away
the fog
