Burdens

Sullen clouds
brood
over evening
heavy
with rain
and ill omens;
my troubled mind
burdens
my heart
with worry
and darkness

Suspense (11/16)

Seasons

suspended

in fog

between

autumn

winter

spring

dawn and

day

night and

now

wish

worry and

when;

the illusion is

you

are standing still

for

the solid earth

beneath your feet

is 

moving

spinning

closer

to dark

to winter

to change

Fantastic landscape

Dawn

snow

transforms

familiar paths

into

an ancient

forest

illuminated in

mysterious

primeval

blue 

Cold Rain

Car wheels
rushing
in rain;
stormy waves
breaking
at double
speed

Anthropomorphism

Lady Sun

nestles beneath

a cloud comforter

of lavender

and flame,

hugging close

a few moments

more

of warmth

before emerging

to Winter’s

icy

brittle day

Accumulation

A single

flake

withers

in my cupped palm;

a storm’s worth

blots out

the sky

November returns

Evening
comes early
clothed in veils
of faded blue daylight
and soft gray
twilight
