after haiku


The battlefield was

quiet.  The citizens cheered.

The torn grass cried.





kaleidoscope leaves


Sky silent blue

The day you stopped

Talking to me

A black crow 

Let me know

Neither of us

Shed a tear for

Words we forgot

To speak

The weight of

You and the winter 

Snow melted into 

Spring of possibilities

Summer heat bleeds

Fall leaves turning

Kaleidoscope colors

Still

I don’t miss you





mother nature heals me


Lying on my back

sun camouflaged 

crying green leaves 

through the trees

bright blonde beams

trickling, twinkling down on me

sparkling day stars

on a suffocatingly hot day

bashful breeze 

refreshing me

like a lover’s kiss

God does not need a name

to shine on me
