When It Rains
Happy World Poetry Day, everyone. When it rains,I can smell it in my heart,Aching now,The end of an era. The music is loud in the car stereo;It does not matter the song,The noise is soothing,Anything to drown out the silence. I remember Spring,Waking up to new light,The night before but a memory,The day ahead a … Continue reading When It Rains

Portal (6)
We’ve been holding the gates, the rift,Watching through the lifting mist,For spirits unknown lone to rise,Scorch the Earth, sever ties;Lo! What a surprise for our eyes,To see, waiting, on the other side,Our own forms, reaching through,Amber hue and Azure Blue,Crimson scars and Golden stars,Shining true the same as ours.
With Dreams
On a run… a jog… a walk…(More the latter than I care to admit)Through the East Side,Saint Paul, Minnesota. I seeRusted-out autos from garage to sidewalk;Their humble, hollow half-life draws my attention fromThe Earth,The Sky,And everything else that lies between,If only for a moment. There is a green passenger vanFor the children, perhaps,Acquired with plans … Continue reading With Dreams
