The Connection
Always connected
we glide
in and out
of each other’s lives
fingertips graze
and we circle away
to come back
again in tight embrace
always together
yet apart
energy tangled
like knotted threads
even with
thousands of miles
between us
Misty Mornings
Sweet wet air
skims against skin
as not quite raindrops
kiss surfaces
always eager
for water and wet
no matter
how damp
they already are
and misty air
mixes
with morning dew
to give us
a taste
of perfection
and renewal
A Quiet Moment
Shadows and light
dance together
in shades of green
and earthen hues
movement
in the sway
of fronds
and quiet flutter
of bird wings
among leaves
and sweet scents
swirl through
the senses
as time
stands still
Touching Roots
I will whisper
in your ear
the secrets
of the trees
as they speak
to me
through bare feet
on earthen ground
with roots
dug deep within
rich dark soil
I hear their
secrets shared
and it fills me up
to overflow
with sacred ken.
Undergrowth
Sheltered
by the drape of fern
and tucked
among
sweet leave’s decay
new life
finds purchase
in damp earth
even
in winter’s chill
and as the warmth
of spring approaches
new life
will grow and grow
Love Languages
Sweet nothings
are not my forte
nor expensive gifts
and moments
of pda
are often lacking
as are confessions
of emotions
and yet
somehow
you still know
the depth of love
I feel for you
and I’m left
wondering how
