When?

He ran rapidly past me Gone without a trace I went slow and steady When’s the race?

Colony collapse disorder This happens with bees It’s not the eye of Mordor As we vanish in a breeze Prevailing wind are strong As it blows a mighty storm Hey, what could go wrong? Isn’t this just today’s norm?

Sight From Sound

A piercing flute; yellow bird darts above the falls Falling water, low notes drop, drip, splash, plop Cool blue pool reflects a cloudless sky, empties Flute glissandos dance along piano-chord rocks Faster now, volume, power grow as birds chirp As this river of music blusters, pushes, cascades Slides into green darkness of overhanging trees Into […]

Neverending

Will we Grow, Grow up Grow old, Grow old Together In all weather Woven, weaving A tapestry Joined, cleaving Or a shroud Grieving, giving, Dying, living Out loud Friend, lover Mover, cover Shielding all, Memories Times, signs Lightening, thunder Torn asunder Torn apart Hearts shred Mere threads Tatters, blood Splatters, Should we Clutch tight, fight […]
