Silent

Not all deserts are wastelands.  
Not all deserts are dry.  
Not all deserts are visible. 
Not all bird songs can be heard.  
Not all humans sing to be heard. 
And yet, here we are , 
The birds, and I,
Singing in the desert, 
Invisible and silent.

Bygones

So much has been right,

Of which we do not

Want to loose sight;

But to ignore the wrong

Makes the hurt

Last too long.

Morning

Tiny bell flowers,

Each with one bright water drop,

Are glowing through fog

December Drear

Hickories glow bright;

Summer’s sunshine yellow saved,

For this gloomy day.

Dissonance

By the riverside,

We walked, myself, and three dogs.

The dogs were content.

Too Late

Little Lightening Bug,

Shines bright in the rainy night.

Alone, she is calling.

Dark Dance

Straddling fault lines,
We dance above the abyss.
There is no safety.

Hunger

.
.
A song never sung
Was silenced by an owl’s
Whispered hunting flight.

Warming

.
.
Deceptively soft,
Warming breezes contrast with
Winter’s shadowed cold.
