Butterfly Kisses

Butterfly Kisses If I blink my eyes My lashes filter the moment. And if your cheek is within reach Each lash caresses your essence. If I blink my eyes Time moves forward. My lashes fill with the dust Of what was. But each time they meet your cheek I feel your love. Share you thoughts […]

Decisions that quiet the mind

Decisions Quiet the noise in your head The pounding in your heart Discern if the sounds come from outside, Or if the pounding is your blood keeping you alive.

The Long View of Ants

The Long View I stared at the line of ant soldiers. One followed the other. A crumb twice it size Carried to a mound Somewhere in their memory. Diligent, obedient They moved increments To create their universe. Belief, fate, instinct Drew them on. Even as the wind blew them off course They righted themselves. I […]

What Influences Me

What Influences Me As my feet patter through the rain What I see Is what I become. A cormorant on a post Still life Unmoving Even as I pass a discarded sofa. The stains mixed with the holes Made by who or what? A walk through the dark side Over a bridge to a park […]
