sunny skies
shine through bright colored glass
summoning playtime
I think of us
far away on a sailboat

the elephant stood
out of place
deep in the city
you held fast
when my world crumbled
(photo credit: John Vlooswyk)
fresh September snow
frames entire mountain
reflected in the lake
he sees her beauty
as if for the first time
(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)
graffiti scars rocks-
her hands clasp a bulging belly
a baby waits,
I want to show her a path
without spray paint
(personal photo)
covers pull back
expose her bare toes
she holds her breath
until the moment
he teaches her to walk
with a rapid rhythm
where trees grow tall
we walk and talk-
blue sky and sunshine
bring out the best in you

(personal photo)
today I see
where you once tread
grass no longer grows,
your footprints locked in stone-
I want to follow

(personal photo)
I look ahead
at a fork in the road
a choice I must make
either one
leads away from you
