to casting my own shadow
upon green flesh
breaking ground
till leafless gray
groom’d my breathless limbs
for others to shelter
for inquiring minds to nourish
at my newest splendor
I am at home
Taking some time off to fly back east. First, to finally perform a long-awaited veteran’s memorial service for my brother-in-law.

And have a wonderful summer. Peace.

by your absence
be a blur
striking me
colorblind
in all spectra

trips
into frozen thought

seedlings of obscurity
breeding endless sand
that She might
caress the distance
with Clarity
and of Myself let the rest
Imagine a Meaning
embracers of first morning
to ghosts by third night
cultivating
dreams of rainbow petals
yesteryear’s keepsake to bear
of cloudless blues
the fruits to inspire
of their own dreams
and bless tomorrow’s trees
with laughter
