Berth of a Lifetime (from the Time Capsule)

from looking up
within the shade
of my forebrethren

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

Boarding Passes

Taking some time off to fly back east.  First, to finally perform a long-awaited veteran’s memorial service for my brother-in-law.  Then to get together with family and friends– some of whom  (because of our distant addresses) we’ve kept in touch with but haven’t seen in years.  Be safe, fellow bloggers.  And have a wonderful summer.   Peace.

our eyes once
held hands
your footsteps
sunken into mine
o’er
the cold warmth
the beauty
the wonders
of winter’s boulevard

now all
by your absence
be a blur
striking me
colorblind
in all spectra
as my mind
trips
into frozen thought

we are not here

we are
not

(This happens– usually just outside my front door– about 4 times a year.  It takes a few days for the local birds to resume their activities around the hanging feeder and the ground level water dish.)

my dearly belov’d Sight
unveil

that She might
caress the distance
with Clarity

and of Myself let the rest
