REST

Gray, damp, 
Overcast, 
Is the sky
Behind dark trees.
Mildew is growing,
Blooming black,
The road is Sand, 
Deep and dry.
Plants hang limp
With thirst. 
Work is futile.  
I sit and rest,
While drinking tea.
I watch leaves  
Gently sway,
As the slowly drift,
Falling away,
Falling.
Each one, 
Dancing alone,
Until, 
On the ground,  
They gather. 
I sit and rest.
I drink tea. 
The sky is gray.   
The  forest is silver.
The air is damp.
The sand is 
Dry, and deep. 
I sit, resting.
I drink my tea. 
I am older 
Than I was 
A little while ago.
Leaves gently sway,
Falling.

Dark Falling Night Blue

Open sky
No clouds
Intensely
Darkly
Purple Blue
Black blue
Calling
Dark falling
Night blue
One glittering
White star
A sliver
Of moon
Two egrets
Flying home
No clouds
Endless
Open sky

Vapor Light

Pangaea’s heart
Fire lights
Mercury glow
Obscures the
Fearsome sight
Of glorious
Stars in night

YOUR BLIND FEET RETURN

.

RETURN ⓒBearspawprint2015

We see
.
Your blind feet
.
Return
.
We are dry
.
No memory
.
We are empty
.
Fiery anguish
.
Life forbidden
.
Mother speaks
.
Words unwanted
.
Dead turtles rattle
.
Dancing bones
.
Blessed circle
.
Garbage in dirt
.
Hearts desiccated
.
Blood red dust
.
Fools shuffle hop
.
Choking sacrifice
.
Unwanted
.
My Mother
.
Is me
.
We see
.
Your blind feet
.
Return
.

A Flash Of Color Before Dark

.

.Color at the end of a colorless day  …. already there is a coating of green pollen on the windows, car windshield, and other surfaces  such as water in the bird bath. Also my sinuses. Ahhh–chooo.  ‘Scuse me.  Some of the trees have new growth and the beginnings of Spring color.

The color, though welcome, is deceptive, as is the pollen.  Usually February is the coldest month, with the most illness and intractable depression.  It is a difficult month for elders and small children and those without adequate means to care for themselves.  Please watch out for each other.

The evidence of an unusual amount of air traffic may be the source of the unusual sky colors, as well.
