I’m a Dreamer

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?
If I lost all my possessions, then I hope I’d respond by embracing my freedoms.
I hope….

‘neath twilight,
Now gone, night
Breezeless, that we’d hear

Sun thinking
Debating
Not coming too near

Earth rustles
We wrestle
Then, loose unchecked fear!

The stars freeze
Hark! Claim these!
Freedoms, conscience clear

For me
Whether it be storied and short
Or miles long
Sweet sweat
At twilight time
When the day’s taken all it can
Yet, I’ve much, much more to give
To me

No Othering

We must sit alone through This
No one has our back

Not forsaking sunlight then
Nor the sturdiness of these vintage legs

Doors behind us closed, by intent
Facing East, where will our colors lead us

What mystery does the morning hold
What certainty does twilight promise

Of the field: A haiku

“I Love You,” conceived
In the approaching twilight
Of the longest day
