together again
our souls dancing forever
with the shining stars

together again
our souls dancing forever
with the shining stars
.
.
first day of spring
rain tap-danding on skylights
and windowpanes
.
.
Sunday morning silence
only the whisper of trees
rustling in the wind
.
.
the sky solid grey
not a cloud in sight
yet everywhere rain
·
.
together forever
our love woven seamlessy
dancing in the stars
.
.
new ballet troupe
dolphins
gliding through the waves
.
.
forest conversations —
chirp! chirp! chirp! birds reply
to chattering squirrels
.
.
winter snow
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
·
·
ice skaters fly
across the frozen river —
deep currents under all
·
·
cold winter night
watching the sun melt
into the foothills
·
·
twinkling stars
unseen on rainy nights
still sing our forever love
·
·
at the zoo
out for a stroll
storks
·
.
left behind
by the howling wind
an empty sky
.
.
past the setting sun
beyond the ends of time
our love will forever shine
.

Family Dinner
·
all the jigsaw puzzle pieces
hiding
under grandma’s tablecloth
.
.
midnight
under twinkling stars
kittens
chasing fireflies
.
.
on the edges of spring
I feel our love
dancing in the wind
.
.
winter night —
stars sparkle against
the icy window pane
.
.
this month spring
and yet
the sky is solid grey
filled
with hammering rain
.
.
almost unseen
white on white on white
tiny birds hop
across the snow
.
.
chinese paper dragons
dancing
swaying
melting
into the fog
.
.
ice crystals
glisten in the sun —
crunching across
the frozen lawn
And, v2, after reading on the internet that walking
on frozen grass actually breaks the tiny grass blades 😦
ice crystals
glisten in the sun —
walking far around
the frozen lawn
.
.
winter solitude
only the howling wind
and me
.
.
muddy paw prints
puppy’s delight —
sliding across the kitchen floor
.
.
ice —
fat white ducks waddle
across the pond
.
.
sleepless
cold winter nights
even the moon
seems frozen in place
.
.
pet sitting insanity —
all night
the hamster wheel
.
.
winter colors —
white frosted evergreens
the snowman’s carrot nose
.
.
old pond
chasing his shadow
splash!
a frog jumps in
.
.
snowstorms
hail
winter freeze
yet the coldest chill
was feeling you leave
.
.
rainy days and nights
the moon shimmers
in puddles turned ice
.
.
hit the Enter key
when writing at computers
never the Delete!
.
.
fresh water —
pulling a bucket
from deep in the well
·
(dh’s memories from childhood)
.
.
in the winter wind
frozen
the snowman’s shadow
.

Valentine’s Day, 2023
·
sending red roses
to you, my love —
you’ll live forever
in my heart
v2
sending red roses
to you, my love
you’ll live forever
in my soul
.
.
the sun on fire
melting
into the night
v2
evening
the sun on fire
melting
into the night
.
.
nevermore Sundays:
will Waffle-Wednesdays
cause my widow’s
cry of pain?
.
.
freedom
in a single phrase:
don’t drink
or use
no matter what
