Black Swan
Black Swan See her glide across liquid fields of blue,The shape of water morphing in her tracks.Through dappled clouds, bright rays of light shine throughAs dewdrops glisten on her feathered back.

As The Wind Speaks
As the Wind Speaks… April sun fades in crimson skies,Serenaded by catbird cries.Owl takes refuge in maple treeAs the wind speaks softly to me. Thoughts tumble down, into the fray At the end of a weary day.Golden moon rises high and freeAs the wind speaks softly to me. In a trance, dancing by starlight;Lips like velvetContinue reading “As The Wind Speaks”

Stray
Stray Dark loner wanders as the sun goes down,Dirty asphalt beneath his weathered feet.Straying on, past the far edges of town,There is no vacation on these mean streets. Though winter is waning, bitter winds blow,He shivers behind a ramshackle shed.His fur coat matted by cold rain and snowAs visions of summer dance in his head.Continue reading “Stray”
