May we finish with a dance
A chuckle, and stars in our eyes
Awakened now
Eyes opened
Perhaps late by some standard
But prepared
Then start the new Day

Caesura
I can do this too, hold on
When the weather turns
Watch in awe
Wait
In wonderment, listen
At the end of the frayed, weeknight rope
I can remember the first days of Spring
Out of sheer will
I will recreate
The green
The youth
The primrose, if I choose
Stripes of Stars
What is it, you ask, that ails me
The pain for the colors within
See
Black, brown and white
I've every stripe
Extraterrestrial green
You sense what I mean
Supernatural blue
As too, do you
I have every faith
handshake: a haiku
My Father's told me
The Days won't end, you won't come
I must believe Him
Beige
It's a nice place
It's muted, but purposely so
To any who'd wander by, I'd say
To make things make sense
I've worked hard
I've these eyes, after all
There is one thing, though
There is the question of the door
I cannot easily enter
I cannot easily leave
Rent
Damn all that I want
The seconds, their rhythm
How perfect they seem
The song they sing
As though you are here
Championing their entrance
Into the hours, the Days
Plain
Don't worry
I see it
I breathe it and speak it aloud into their confused minds
As matter-of-fact as I will
You see, I must
Remind us
We are still We
Ode to My Susans
Dear deliberate garden
Across the lawn grown long
I ask of you forgiveness
For days of absent song
The week raced past so clever
Don't wonder if I care
I tended needy gardens
And wildflowers there
I vow I'll strike the balance
I'll give and take with you
I'll seek you out to ask your thoughts
We'll praise the morning dew
Is It Poetry
How can it be, the hour's calm
Despite all that is happening here
The beat of the world
Foreboding and loud
Yet the chickadee sings its sweet note?
Wherefore the whims of the wind
At ev'ry map dot, it seems
Churning, marching
Fanning the pain
While the porch chime resonates fine?
What of the flames that burn so
Blue, yellow, orange, then to red
Smoke-filled eyes from the North
Westward heart deeply charred
As the core of your Earth sleeps content?
Familiar
Angel
Sliding
Across familiar strings
And 'round
And down
To where,
To these ears
Seems hallowed ground
Singing softly about you
I love you
