Chandelier

(chandelier)

prism fingers reach
thru my window
swirling rainbows
on the walls and floor
the sun my chandelier

Bliss

Tanka Poets On Site
(tree in vortex)

sedona canyon
climb the trail to find
perfect spot to meditate
trees in line of vortex winds
spiraled into bliss

.

Lost & Found

Carpe Diem

lost
in the dark ~
your hand brushes mine

(inspired by a haiku by Garry Gay)

Galaxy

Carpe Diem

a drop in the ocean
grain of sand on the seashore
how vast our galaxy

.

Light

decades of darkness
now memory of light
has room to shine
fill emptiness with love
your smile my sun

.

Fracture

when sound asleep
dreams fracture into nightmares
peace wrenched from mind

.

Fragile

Tanka Poets On Site
(ship just built)

she will not sail
encased in glass
my ship to nowhere
all can see her fragile life
no stones for her…this time

.

First Frost

the white rose
last blossom
holds tenaciously
til first frost
snow white petals fall

.

Blinded

Tanka Poets On Site
(against the light)

life against the light
darkness consumes subconscious
blocking the mind’s awareness
healing begins blinded
by stark reality

.

Still

as your hand
gently brushes mine
mercury rises
in my heart
still after all the years

.
