Looking forward to summer. LISTEN! The nightly summer breeze runs over and under, tousling tree leaves with a delightful sound. Nearby, moth wings are battling a screen door, striving for the low kitchen light just out of reach. A neighbor’s dog is whining and scratching at the door, again. In the distance, car tires hum … Continue reading Listen to the Summer

My Limb
The sun ignores the leaves, while I tuck in the bough far above the ground. The old limb moves gently, slowly in the breeze. While I think of my life and how fresh I am. I see the grass below in lazy gaze, with my hands tucked neath my chin, and those fluffy clouds, move … Continue reading My Limb
Gods Fury
God's fury has passed, as the last sudden light flashes, and the flooding rain begins to slow, while the forceful winds move away to the quiet of the dawn. One leaf flutters down, torn from its anchor, alone, resplendent in its moment, whilst I see, feel, as one with that leaf. The aftermath, what was … Continue reading Gods Fury

VENUS IN MY SMILE
Just a touch left of Venus, whilst my fingers trace the moon, and my breath shows as vapor, while I sits all alone, I remember your smile that wrapped me, in a warmth all its own, but now I look left of Venus, while I sits all alone
My Creek
The cotton bolls cling to my denim thighs as I push through the old furrows of the earth. Plowed dirt finds cracks in my shoes and fills the spaces in between. I smell layers of dirt, honeysuckle vine, cotton plants, and heat. The insects sing to me in frustration as their wings flap on air … Continue reading My Creek
Summer Sounds
Listen. The afternoon summer breeze runs over and under tree limbs, tousling tree leaves with a delightful sound. Nearby, moth wings are battling a screen door, striving for the low kitchen light just out of reach. A neighbor’s dog is whining and scratching at the door, again.

I Am Here
With air was so still, can you not hear me? With the sky so blue, can you not see me? Without a frenetic pace, can you not feel me? I am here. Just like yesterday and tomorrow. I am here.
Naked Fury
God's fury has passed, as the last sudden light flashes, and the flooding rain begins to slow, while the forceful winds move away to meet the dawn. One leaf flutters down, torn from its anchor, alone, resplendent in its moment, whilst I see, feel, as one with that leaf. The aftermath, what was and what … Continue reading Naked Fury
