Glittering sun beams
Glissade across stained glass panes
Mercurial mood

Shifting bright candy colors
Until daylight fades to blue

Deep in the grey gloam
A single flash of lightening
Creation begins

Purifying rain tumbles
Comforting my depression

Requiem

Soft winged requiem
Heron dips an aliyah
Coming home to roost

Prayer for pain’s release
Broken body unfettered
Spirit soon to soar

Tears

Tears flow down my cheeks
Long after the rain has stopped
Puddle at my feet

Your soothing palm on my back
I am no longer alone

Cotton boll snow storm
Frosts southern field and furrow
Shimmering solstice

Song of ancestors sorrow
Blowing on the wind of change
