the sky brilliant blue
no clouds in sight — yet still
the feel of spring rain

waking with bleary eyes
spring rain glistens on skylights
and windowpanes

songs to my love
032419, 8:36pm
four years, songs to my love
·
four years and still
each day I feel you go
your soul
walking away from me
·
it was then the earth
stopped turning
without you
there is only night
·
a million million years
I’ll wait far beyond
to be with you again
.
in the darkest nights
I feel our love shining
the two of us
dancing in the stars
.
everywhere our love
.
everywhere our love
little rain sprinkles
my husband
calling to me
.
drifting away
.
drifting away
wisps of smoke —
candle flames
just blown out
.
together again
.
together again
our souls dancing forever
with the shining stars
.
first day of spring
.
first day of spring
rain tap-danding on skylights
and windowpanes
.
unday morning silence
.
Sunday morning silence
only the whisper of trees
rustling in the wind
.
the sky solid grey
.
the sky solid grey
not a cloud in sight
yet everywhere rain
·
together forever
.
together forever
our love woven seamlessy
dancing in the stars

chirp! chirp! chirp! birds reply

all color lost — yet white
is the presence of all

at 7
I thought I was
so mature
at 17
being a hippie
was an awesome dream
and then
and then
and then
and then
and then . . .
and then today
I can’t figure out
how that “7”
got a zero at the end

ice crystals
glisten in the sun —
crunching across
frozen grass

across the frozen river —
deep currents under all

cold winter night
watching the sun melt
into the foothills

twinkling stars

twinkling stars
unseen on rainy nights
still sing our forever love

left behind

left behind
by the howling wind
an empty sky
.
past the setting sun

past the setting sun
beyond the ends of time
our love will forever shine

winter night —
stars sparkle against
the icy window pane

this month spring
and yet
the sky is solid grey
filled
with hammering rain
