Midnight Rain
Silver diamonds
Mere reflections upon the sill
Thunder resounds
Yet, the world lies still
Asleep
Raindrops falling from an ashen sky
And I want to be ...as the silver diamonds
One with night
Illuminating an ebony sea
Luminescent ...and free
Farewell Summer
Finding ground in the sticky
heat of summer
I hear the thud, its sound familiar
As ripened mangoes in shades
of mahogany, fall one after another
Loosened from the aging branches
of a once youthful tree no longer able
to hold on
And I think ...perhaps
They are free
Memories
Sunlight flickers
Yellow and gold
In the shadows
of memory
Her forgotten soul
Fragments-
Adrift upon gossamer wings
She now dances with butterflies
On the Autumn breeze
Sometimes her world
Exists only in the twilight
of dreams
