In the Breeze
I sense
these floating souls
and angels in the clouds . . .
a silent muse passes softly
unseen.

Summer
Willows
sag in the heat,
while crows fight over crumbs
from the gravediggers lunch, and clouds
stand still.

Packing Cartons
Wrestling
with memories
I clear out mother's house...
leaving, I touch the walls that held
her life

Late Fall
The warmth
of mother's shawl
wrapped around our shoulders . . .
how soft it was, resting against
my cheek.

Awesome
First night
in the mountains
the city kids sees stars . . .
how I gasped at the brilliance of
each gem.

No More
Waiting,
the last oak leaf
catches a breeze and swirls
into a pile of leaves, happy
to leave.

Listen . . .
What if
I cannot wait
to see our garden bloom,
will you press a rose for me when
I'm gone?

Winter Dreams
wrapped in wet summer heat,
slowly planning our life...when he
loved me.

Under Fire
These boys
were like brothers,
side by side in trenches
still together row by row, miles
from home.

Again
Each year
finding his name
through my dark reflection,
touching the etching on the wall
I cry.

Girl child
so much like me
that our souls seem entwined...
yet, in you I see my mother
smiling.

Quietly
And still
I hear them all . . .
those days of long ago,
the sounds of lullabies and life
with you.
Wonder
filled each moment . . .
but tonight side by side
for each to hold, we know it's time

Sleepy Girl
We play
shadow puppets
from her hospital bed...
she makes a small angel to fly
with her.

waking with me
from a deep vivid dream . . .
the colors and scents of those days
relived.
