Butterfly

I followed you
with camera
and ever-roaming eye.

You flew away
on guilded wings
as if you owned the sky.

I, patient in
the sunshine
waited for your return.

In dappled light
and sweet greenery
your secret golden urn.

When the time came
to lumber to my feet
and for me to get along.

You swooped right in
on the gentle wind
and finished nature’s song.

The Magic House

It stood on a hill and on full moon nights, it radiated a blue light that gave it wings. From my window I watched it, readying myself for its ethereal flight to its home in the heavens but it hid its journey from me - casting its spell, it sent me to my dreams.

It sighed with the night breeze and laughed with the rain. It was my inspiration, my touchstone to flights of fancy and impossible stories. I told it my secrets and it saved them, never revealing to another soul their hiding place. It fed my eyes and soothed my spirit. My portal to sanity and safety.

My first sight of the day, my last sight of the night - my rock of persistence and continuity. My heart held fast and loved its shutters and windows, shingles and doors, shadows and light. My Magic House of childhood dreams.

A Moment

 

The laughter of the sun
hums and buzzes like
the honey bees hovering
the orange tree in
my backyard.

A blanket of cool, green grass
spreads out lazily
and sighs the summer day.

My pencil to paper
and mind to idle thoughts
drink in the moment
like sweet tea.

For Evan

Stinking, humid heat
Drought-ridden summer parches
Damned Aussie seasons!

Celebrate

 

Like a cat
I nap in the sun.
And put aside
my problems
for opening on another day.
Spring is here
and I
celebrate.

Beach Dogs

beach dogs catch the rays
that sparkle across water
deep green and perfect
