You are by far my favorite; Bringing relief from the stifling heat; Showing off all of your beautiful colors. But how can I fully enjoy you? Knowing that your time here is fleeting; And dreading what is to come; Your frigid successor is on the way.

Whirlwind
Peace, tranquility, freedom, space;Then you arrive to take their place;Wreaking havoc at a frenetic pace; A whirlwind in a competitive race.Sucking in all that is near;Holding on tight to all that’s dear;Then letting go without fear;Dissipating as quickly as you appear.Fatigue, boredom, empty space;Nothing here to take your place;Moving at a solemn pace;Losing steam inContinue reading “Whirlwind”
Toddler
He’s just a toddler;So they say;Running in circles;All about play.But a closer look;Will soon unveil;A unique being;An incredible tale.
Full Moon
What is this restlessness that disturbs my sleep?An inner tide tugging in all directions.I open my eyes to a light filled room, though it is not yet morning.I rise from my bed and peek through the slats of the blinds.My breath catches in my throat, as I behold a most spectacular sight;A full moon winkingContinue reading “Full Moon”
The Marsh
Moments may be harsh;Though there is nothing but joy;Gazing at the marsh.

Riddles In The Clouds
The clearest blue sky;Radiates lucidity.Riddles hide in clouds.
Web
Only a thin filament holds us together;Yet its durability is evident;It stretches to unimaginable lengths;Spanning continents, time and space.It divides in all directions;Binding all living beings;Providing strength and protection.At times the filament breaks;Leaving some dangling.Sometimes the filament winds itself round and round, Smothering those it can no longer support.There is no escaping it;As without itContinue reading “Web”
In The Shower
This is my happy place.Feel the warm water cascading around me,As my mind takes me to magical places;Planning for the future;The creative juices flowing.I must turn the water off,But it feels so good in here,So relaxing, so peaceful.Okay, off the water goes,As I grab for my fluffy towel.Wait, did I wash?
