Remnant
She roams
the dark halls, seen
yet unseen, wandering
memory of yesterday, lost
in death.
She weeps
tales of pain, heard
yet unheard, whispering
shadow of yesterday, calling
in death.
She dwells
in herself, here
yet not here, a woeful
vestige of yesterday, walking
in death.
My Love For You Is...
The moon
kissing the sea,
waves caressing the shore,
countless shells embraced by warm sands –
endless.
On Mom’s Porch
Within
archaic oaks
a coyote cries out,
cicadas chitter, songbirds sing –
calm depths –
sweet smoke slides from my smiling lips,
sitting still in the shade,
caressing breeze –
so small.
