when I look up
the world rises with me
we soar skyward
my hands reach out
to clasp a comet tail

when I look up
the world rises with me
we soar skyward
my hands reach out
to clasp a comet tail
(personal photo)
as the sun fades
lights blink one by one
across the horizon
I recognize your halo
extending toward my heart
(personal photo)
we walked the lane
along a dark green fence
sensing eyes on us
we knew our dalliance
would be tomorrow’s news
(personal photo)
sunny skies
shine through bright colored glass
summoning playtime
I think of us
far away on a sailboat
(personal photo)
the elephant stood
out of place
deep in the city
you held fast
when my world crumbled

fresh September snow
frames entire mountain
reflected in the lake
he sees her beauty
as if for the first time

(personal photo)
with summer gone
cooler weather brings change
winter nudges closer
we stand in the cold
content to be together
(personal photo)
scents and textures
clamor for attention
on a busy street
your eyes
seize my heart
(personal photo)
remember when
there were only shrubs and grass
no wooden barrier-
the fence between us
went up so fast
(personal photo)
bedside words
shine in soft light
near your warm body
stories float
into my dreams
