What the Sun Sees
As I rise, The moon falls The wind settles The lake follows The sand shimmers The earth softens The stars dampen and The buildings brighten, A tree houses A bird swooshes A flower opens A fish swims A weed dances A squirrel eats and A duck dips, A man hurries to work A woman runs on the boardwalk A grandfather grabs the paper A boy hides from me A girl giggles on the...

Betrayal of The Sun
There was a time when you stood at the center of my sky, and I, small, humble, gazed upward in awe, letting your brilliance shape my world. Every word you spoke carved meaning into silence, every gesture gave weight to the air. I was nothing but a shadow you cast, grateful for the light. But I see now what I could not see then— the sun blinds...

Calm Waters, Safe Harbour
I've been to a few strange places in my day some hotter than the hottest spot on the sun some colder than the coldest crater on the moon and all the while I was looking for someone looking here looking there I was searching everywhere now I found you you are the one my searching days are done for my heart...

Loneliness
Looking over my northern shoulder at the changing shades of day a weak winter sun turning twilight grey teardrops of rain on the window the gentle sigh of the wind storm clouds in the evening sky bring it all back again poring over unwritten letters in the solitude of night a dim lit candle shining star white light telephone silent unanswered candlelight quietly dimmed unwritten letters to...

Sensations
"And my thoughts are all sensations" And my sensations are all my thoughts. The sun controls the moon, and the moon controls me. She said she was a she/they/we, and we just laughed. Not her we, just us. And my thoughts are all sensations, we'll only ever be as smart as your sun. But the sun controls the moon, and the moon controls we. You've...

I love when we sit in the hot bright sun, add some butter or we will get well done. Sky and water of ice blue, better than the dull store view. Oh! look I am popping so I will run....

The Sun
As I walk around on the green grass ground The sun shone down on the lady in a light brown gown She bowed with a “hello” Her voice pierced like a love arrow The darkness in her eyes I see a beautiful soul Oh, hello! Come and let's delve deep with me into the gloomy exploring galaxy Throughout the journey I sense peace,...

Weight That Thought Me
I carried stones inside my chest, Each one a name I could not speak. They built a wall beneath my breast, A fortress made of worn-out ache. I carried rivers in my veins, The floods of all I held too long. They carved their maps through years of strain, A quiet, slow, unspoken song. I carried winters in my bones, The weight of every...
