coming too quickly,
to its riotous, pandemic, end.
not quickly enough.
Hope
July slipped by
Un-noted, unattended,
I could blame it on ennui
from half a year and more,
of plague,
but…
Before dawn
Shooting star, bright joy,
Lighting the darkness of night.
Now just memories…
Missing you… for Jenna
Shooting star, bright joy,
Lighting the darkness of night.
All too quickly gone,
In memoriam…
Shooting star, here, gone!
Lighting our lives briefly. Now…
We shine less brightly.
…Sydney Aiello, Parkland Florida victim!
People…
People. People who call themselves
by a name, a label.
People who place themselves
at the head of the table.
People who invoke for themselves
some elusive power.
People who see themselves
as the need of the hour.
People who see themselves
Worthy of all honor.
Who see their god as helpless, ineffective,
in Towers imagine,
Themselves above all others.
Release…
Morning mountain sun
Arising to a new day
Winter slips away
History
An ancient graveyard.
Monuments and markers tell
Tales of family.
Venus…
Venus morning star,
and my thoughts turn to you.
Beauty shining bright.
Day
One leaf bud breaking,
new horizons unfolding.
Springs emerging day.
