October 10, 2016: Eyes open again

Evening’s

fragile palette

of tender pink

fading

to lavender

and smudged gray

gently

draws me out

of my blind

preoccupations

and into

contemplation

of the potential miracle

of night’s 

renewal

October 1, 2016

Almost hidden

high in the clouds

the sun traces

a rainbow

broken

by blue sky

Sept. 25, 2016: Willing a metamorphosis out of the ordinary

Wind rattles

the blinds

that dissect

nature

into meager parses

of leaf

cloud

birds winging free;

scoring my heart

with longing

for space

time

and green

September 22, 2016

Momentary

glimpse of blue;

unexpected smile

in a crowd

of hurried

indifferent

faces

Sept. 20, 2016

Stormy ocean
of cloud
breaking
against
a faded
blue shore
of sky

September 18, 2016

Early morning clouds
dabbed with
gray pearl
and echoes
of pink dawn;
painted by
a dreamer’s 
hand

Cloudless

Blue
bold
and open;
a blank page
to write
my dreams of
oceans
