Drip, Drip, Dripping

Tiptoeing in, silent,
Peeking around the corner
Watching waiting,
Quite as the mourner,

The fog, drip, drip,dripping
Silvery,ghost like hands
Moving in, drip, drip, dripping

Moving slowly, drip, drip, dripping
Leaving a cold moist kiss
Swirling tendrils, drip, drip, dripping

Thick and thin drip, drip, dripping
Here then gone again
Muffling sounds, drip, drip, dripping

Hated, yet loved, drip, drip, dripping
Embraced, yet rejected
Desired, yet scorned,drip, drip, dripping

Leaving, job done, drip, drip, dripping
Til next time needed
Moving on, drip, drip, dripping

Tiptoeing out, silent,
Peeking around the corner
Watching waiting,
Quite as the mourner,

Harmony

The blue jay so resplendent

In shiny white and blue

The cardinal, glowing vibrant

Clothed in red and black

The small Chickadee, so shy

Dressed in black and white

Harmony!

Beachy Sandy Feet

Running to the waters edge

Hot sandy feet

Waves splash coolly

Fish nibble tickley

Cool sand comforts

Standing gazing

Not wanting to leave.

No chair to sit in

Sun is glaring

Crabs are biting

Feet are cold and wet

No towels, no shoes

Sand sucking at our feet

Need to leave.

Songs of My Heart

My Eye

My eye

Do you see?

The things of life around me.

Assaulting the senses

A kaleidoscope of input

So much so

That I need TWO eyes to see it all.  

New Horizons

Cold and dark

So far from home

Will I ever feel the sun again?

The end has happened

But you cannot see

The heavens obscure the horror.

Onward though to a new beginning

Starting over, ever so sure.

Leave the hate, bring the love.

No monsters, only us

Beings...human, alien and more

Together forever bound.

(note- tried to overlay some gnarled trees in the pic.....the poem that is italicized goes with the gnarled trees)

Trees in my yard
Front and back

     Gnarled trunks
     Spindly branches

Leafy and green
Never out of whack

     Reaching to the sky
    Hidden in the dark

Shady in the summer
When the sun shines bright

     Black and grey
     Often ignored

Bare in the winter
When the cold winds bite

    No protection given
    No protection gained

Home to the birds
Home to the squirrels

     Destined to be lonely
     Never to be seen
   
Safe and sound
When the wind swirls

     Bent and curled
    Grasping at the earth

Standing straight
Roots deep in the earth

    Bent and twisted
    Never royalty to be 

Majestic trunks
With large round girths

     Saddness and sorrow
     Flows from the heart

Happiness over flows
When looking at the trees

     So glad they can't be seen
     So glad to just melt away

So sad for those
Who can't see the trees.

Glorious Morn - 30 words

Icy cold breath

sweeps across the land

All is hushed

anticipation swells

The light shines

clouds swirl in

The mountain shines

emerging from the mist

Glorious Morn is upon us
