blue skies of autumn

blue skies of autumn
on this illusion of wings
souls soar
above and beyond,
the walls

within and without

autumn rain


autumn rain ~

washed afresh 
the fresh leaves 
rise against the skies,
how bracing! how easing...

reconnecting


reconnecting with 
the words that once 
echoed in my silence, 
here, I hear the sound 
of violets break open

another life



a life ends 
burning to ashes -
what justice can words do, 
the pen 
rests on a blank page, 
another life 
begins elsewhere

autumn moon


autumn moon
turning the other way
evening star


impermanence 
yet, as if time never was 
autumn moon


the times we spoke, 
the things we spoke 
all forgotten 
yet, 
autumn moon

autumn breeze



autumn breeze ~
leaves let go
a melody

in this evening's hush


in this evening's hush 
the crescent moon too, 
a luminous bird 
set on flight, 
into the darker skies

Idle questions


idle questions rumble 
through the clouds gathering 
at sunset ~ beneath, 
the ground resounding 
with the laughter of children
