Long rays of sunlight
still stretch across
the field,
a chorus of tree frogs
lingering with the dusk.
Life is flush with growth,
the blushing bride of the 
Solstice scantily clad
and ripe.
If this were all of life,
we would age with zest,
a slow, golden rise to the sky.
Yet winter hovers,
the opposing force of a dusk
that lingers long into morning.
If I could catch you up in this
time of light,
we might stay young 
and glistening
forever.

April 1; Easter

Rising before the sun,
I catch the apex of
The full moon,
Light cascading
Through the sky,
Making a promise.
The rosy glow
Of impending daylight
Mingles with
The strangely frigid air,
A winter anomaly
On this Spring marker.
I fill my lungs
With believing,
Closing my eyes
Against the angst
In the world,
And choosing to
Live in the
Light.

February 16

Suspended between
The twilights
Are the spaces of
Our humanness.
Open laughter,
The banter of
Lifetime friends,
Tears of shared
Longing.
Moments define
Us in ways
We can’t describe
Or understand.
This is what we
Share,
Knowingly or
Subconsciously
Together.

January 17

Tracks, like memories
Tell stories.
A silent tryst
In the night,
Fear of being
Found,
Or finding.
The rising sun
Reveals the
Twists and turns
Of life.
I am reminded of
Who I was,
And who I hoped to
Be.
To walk away
Leaves as many
Footprints
And scuffles as
To stay.
Perhaps the
Most interesting
Tracks are left
By the deciding.
