...Sunrise

Sunrise
stir my sleepy thoughts

pull me up
into a stretch

of day
with even strides

paced... in a lineal world

Your own view always of light
& always tightly focused on noon
where ever that might be

while mine is of shadows

and all those many minutes
& tinctures
& tones
in between

The Fairy Garden Poems # 38

...Glowing

Its a full moon
that holds me

keeps me
returning

round
and
round

spin dizzy

splashed
with lightness
in my step

round
and
round

thinking
of you

round
and
round

and me

for that moon
forever

round
and
round

as we...

The Fairy Garden Poems # 37

Into Gold

Summer's deep lush dripping green

dries
into gold

pocket change at first
small coins

as if a fortune might be found
if we can save this day of brink

tuck it into forever
with a gentle tug

brighten the gold
with good memories

The Fairy Garden Poems # 36

Bound to Be

It startled me- autumn
in one batch of leaves
brewing fall

Startled me-
drew me in

School pencils
and graphite gray skies

Seasons blending
and bending time

papyrus scratched
with symbols

...the scrape of a new shoe
on an old sidewalk

and the brightness of berries
some bound to be
bound to be tree
