Vast Expanse

The tides
slide in and out
with ships
and sails
as sunset
tinges horizon
in soft shades
and clouds
remind us
once more
just how small
we are in the
grand scheme
of it all

The Accident

Warped
and cracked
tangled mess
as pain sparks
splinters
and delves deep
as the calm
of chaos
overcome by
logic
washes away panic

eye contact is key
don’t look away

Turkey Day

Sweetness comes
after savory
it’s not turkey
stufffing
or potatoes
we crave
but the
sweet treats
that come after
the meal is done

Lets skip dinner
and go direct
to dessert

The Perfect Fit

You and I
are so very
different
and yet
fit together
like puzzle pieces
each
supporting the other
where needed
so that every touch
each kiss
and every single
word
become a harmony
of magic

The Spring

Gentle currents
flow
drawing ripples
through
silty softness
of muddy bottom
like little waves
underwater
as stillness
reigns above

Solidity
an illusion

The Announcement

Browned tips
hide in the shadows
unnoticed
first whispers
of the season
to come
but when
vibrant shades
shout loud
among green
all with eyes
notice
changing seasons
have finally arrived
