No more dances
Around the sun
She is now
Back to stardust

Solstice
Enveloped stillness
As constellations glitter
Velvet solstice night

Of all life’s impermanence

Firelight
Snuggled in sleeping bags
Under a starry canopy
We whisper sweet nothings
While the campfire wanes

Eclipse
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #149: Epic
Spark
A crackle in the stillness
Of a hot humid night
That spark of beauty
Illuminating the darkness
A billion grains of sand
Against a billion stars
Spellbinding in its power
Both creator and executioner
A not so quiet reminder
That the universe is bigger
Than even sentient beings can grasp
And any sense of control
Is but an illusion
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #143: Big
Goodnight Kiss
Tucked into the horizon
Blankets of vertical clouds
Steal a goodnight kiss
I fade to black

Prolific stars
Shine through billions of years
A distant owl

Moment
A moment in time
When thoughts cross the astral plane
Of the imagination
For Stephen

Beloved
Blue midnight whispers
Before the blush of morning
Beloved full moon
In response to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Beloved
