like any other day

August 13, 2021

Shadowy remembrances
four-leafed clovers
flies, wasps and ants

Sun in bloom
butterflies dancing
and the green painting

Human sounds
overpower Gaia’s song
with such ignorance

Today, like any other day
is full
of disappointing moments

a summer rain

Innocence in the moment
of
Change

Sudden it comes
Sudden it awakens innocence
Sudden it reveals

and within a whisper of time
the rain departs
leaving its scent of eternity

and our newness

Broken

June 6, 2021

The world’s heart
is broken
its soul
is evaporating
its life’s breath
stagnant.

But there
I hear her tongues
of birdsong
I feel her soft fingers
of sunlight
I see her beauty
and know all will be well.

Green

May 30, 2021

I’m here
I’m here, at last.

Sun’s love touches
upon daisy, buttercup
and the green
the beautiful green
beneath my feet.

Here I am
at last
with pen and book
back at my old haunts
caressed by shadows
kissed by nature.

When words don’t appear

May 24, 2021

There is this
this this temptation
to reveal the truth
of this feeling
but what would be the point?

When words don’t appear
when I want them to
except here
where they flow like sand.

The truth is
she brings me comfort
with a glance
and what do I bring
but silence.

When words don’t appear
when I want them to
except here
where they flow like sand

peaceful, but for the
screams
