Dizzy
My heart
Spoke to my head
Too fast to understand
Everything I needed to hear
About you

I am awed by your presence,
By the things that you do--
I am awed by your absence,
Left with the sense of you.

I can put my collection in a box
When I compose a picture of its time;
I can take the collection out and gaze
At the contrast between then and today—
Or of the kindred times between themselves; . . . more

Hope draws me in
With soft tendrils
Slipping over
Long untouched skin
Small fires to tell
Of your passage
Again, again
Until I breathe
Sweet scents of you,
Perfume mingled
With . . . more

Starbursts
Spark from wave crests
To charm a loving pair
Who clasp hands at the liner's rail
And regale as her ring becomes as one
With nature's dancing nighttime heart
And glimpse their . . . more

Quercus Over Time
White, with rain it pokes to look around,
Green, with growth it rises to astound,
Then spreads to shade and grow renowned,
Parched with age, gold flutters to the ground
Black . . . more

Yearning
Whither wand'rest I
Save by the heaving sea
I dream of salt
And roaring surf
And there I long to be

Coffee Klatch
Cream swirling around,
In stirred cup with time-worn chips,
Blending with coffee
Sipped by soul with laughing eyes
That smile over taste and words

Joyful Request
Bright eyes
Shine at mom's knees
When asking for a snack
And tugging at her favorite dress
Unaware of chocolate melt on her hands
"Oh mom can we go for a walk

Lazy Sun
No pretense was made
By the sun to greet morning
And warm my cold eyes
Though it was warned as I was
When the alarm clanged its call

The Book Not Read
The pages riffled
By a baffled pre-schooler
Net a joyous laugh
At the whir of blurred paper,
Entertainment beyond words

No chill
On the prairie,
Dead and awaiting white,
No wind to strip the illusion

Curtain Hangers
Frisky
Kitty frolics
Blurred in a carpet chase
With a competitive sibling
Who both go vertical on drapery
And stop as wavering fur balls
Who are quickly chased down

Intricate Voyage
I seek my friends now
In the labyrinths of fine thought
And discover them
Steaming by clear lubber lines
Home with life's treasures to share

Her mother catching up by bit
As I watched from the park bench,
Winded
Grandma strode behind them
But soon they were all together
Heading for . . . more

Protected by stones
She contemplates life’s vastness
By a tiny pond
