Eager

Excitement sparks
with a sizzle
of impatience
and bright pop
of joy that
even raindrops
can’t quell
as the world
seems to quiver
with possibilities

Endless

The world
refuses to wake
remaining dark
and gray
with slumber
and slow hours
as clouds
don’t lift
or burn away
but merely hang
heavy
in the air
flirting
with treetops
and the ground
beneath

Spring Weeds

Like snowdrops
and crocus
then daffodils
and tulips
the first weeds
of spring
begin to crop up
and be seen
promising
a summer
filled with
dandelion tufts
and hay fever

No Snow

I want to go
where the snow is
and breathe in
the sharp sting
of crisp air
while footsteps
crunch
and little bits
of fluff
fall to join
the glacier
covered ground
I stand upon

Quiet Moments

Dusk slips in
quiet and still
turning skies
into
blushing hues
as light
begins to fade
and we
don’t realize
how late
it’s become
until shadows
blend
into darkness

Poe

The concept
of a dream
within a dream
was once foreign
but over time
reality becomes
ephemeral
and the world
becomes fuzzy
instead of
firm
and clarity
becomes
a concept
instead of
an experience
