Time Breathes

The
breath
of time
resuscitates
the
exhausted
heart

Dust and decay

lifeless
ruins
now
emancipated

love has known
many heros

reaching far
beyond it's call.

Children At The Lake

Sweet
butter-cream
sun

bare feet
melt into
warm,
velvet
sugar sand

youth running
care-free
toward
the cool,
fresh-water lake

Splashes of
laughter carry off
....on the warm summer's breeze.

Breath

Breath....

cast out
unto the
infinite
possibilities
of life.

Collective sighs…

retreat
and then suppress
deep within...
Slowly
they're released,
exhaled back
out in to the eternal
atmosphere of life
Glimmers of hope,
gasps of pain.

Fool's Gold

More then
once,
she had
sold her
soul.

More then once.

More then
once,
the glitter
was fool's
gold.

More then once.

More then

Forever Still

When the last leaf of Autumn
drifts quietly on to the ground,
like a blanket, snowfall softly covers
the beautiful hues that once abound

Warmth that filled our very marrow,
quickly cools to Winter's chill.
When the last leaf of Autumn
rests,
forever still

Soldiers

Shadows
never surrender
to the
darkness
and fury
of the storm.

Emboldened,
they stand firm,
as thrashing
rains and wind
soon tire
of the battle

Daylight tears
through skys
of the
weakening gale,
spilling on to
the battered,

Wisp of love

O' wisp of love
so delicate,
barely
discernable

burgeoning cautiously
perhaps
predetermined
by fate

O' wisp of love
cries out
to be heard

regardless of
it's destiny,
irrational as it may be

O' wisp of love
refuses to be still

Life's last Hurrah

Flesh,
you had

Death...

another

No second
chances
are required-
nor given

Blackbirds,
and the
Buzzards,
pick and
peck at

Loss

She mourned
her
unborn
children

both,
the planned
and unplanned

no one could
console her.

Especially me.

she mourned
her
lost son

cancer reaches
beyond age
