Procrastination

The rains
have come
and it’s
too late now
the roof
will have
to wait
another year
and we pray
it survives
the winter
without collapse.

Favorite Colors

From fields
to forests
my favorite
colors
flow across
each landscape
I see
Blues and greens
blending
in different
shades
in a diversity
of peaceful beauty.

Beautiful Distraction

Even feeling
leathery
and worn
soul in knots
and feeling torn
you bring a blush
to my cheeks
You can kiss
me breathless
with just a beat
and the world
falls away until
there’s only you.

I want to stay there forever.

Blonde Beauty

So beautiful
and so strong
so lovely
and terrifying
Admired
from a distance
there’s nothing
to fear
and yet
don’t get
too close
to those hooves.

Silent Reverence

Lie upon
the ground
and look up
to blue sky
filled with ripples
like small waves.
As cold damp
sinks
past clothing
imagine skipping
over ripples
like dancing
over rocks
in a smooth pond.

The Hush

Standing still
the world
is filled
with movement
as branches sway
and
leaves whisper
and the grasses
hiss
like a quiet
shush
as if trying
to quiet them all
to silence.
