Faces Of Solstice....
Between a rock frame
Captured in all its glory
A bright sun rises
Early morning light
A day for seedlings to sprout
While the sun stands still
A high mountain side
Lush valleys of nature thrive
Bursting in color
A garden sundial
Elaborate work of art
Showing its movement
A Medicine wheel
Tracking its appearance
As the day goes on
Summer birds in flight
Flocking once more loudly sing
Their praise for sunshine
Marking midsummer
Gathering in the country
Fires end a long day

Awaken sweet Earth
A summer sun blazes bright
Eager blooms open
A promise to life
To each meadow garden glen
To thrive once again
Flora and Fauna
Behold its power within
Bountiful landscapes
An array of colors
Some just take your breathe away
Perfection abounds
It's time to get out
Rejuvenate your vigor
Exploring this world
On this longest day
We honor your arrival
With welcoming arms

Missing you...
We met unexpected
We entwined a kindred flame
Not meant for this life
Anticipation...
The rush that was you
Racing heart burning my mind
The wonder of you
Emotions...
Like a freight train
Rattling my sheer existence
Your beautiful soul
Today...
I remember love
You can't get enough to breathe
I breathe cause of you
Time...
There you are always
On this day you went away
Leaving me behind

Never before you
Has there been anyone like you
That once became us
From the first moment
Astonishing beautiful eyes
Smitten by you
So irresistible
Like a moth to candlelight
Couldn't stay away
Learning to love
To give receive rejoice in
being in unison
A fire in my soul
Senses linger hands caress
Immersed in passion
Love from you for you
Exposing my affection
Wrapped in your embrace
Burning so brightly
A world disappears from view
An exquisite flame
No need for control
It doesn't exist with us
Like a river we flow
Call my name softly
I come to you willingly
To partake of more
Images of love
Invading my dreams each night
Once upon a time

Afternoon Visit
A privilege to behold
Her story unfolds
A quilt drapes the bed
A sampler hangs over it
A labor of love
Her voice soft and low
From her heart's memory
She recalls her youth
By the candlelight
Her mother passed on to her
A lifelong career
A hand runs over it
Beautiful flawless stitches
Admiring her work
She listens closely
Each detail is memorized
To retell later
Endless needle ******
Hours spent diligently
Lessons everyday
Cotton wool velvet
Solids prints floral fabrics
Neatly on a shelf
Once powered by foot
Now idle covered in fine dust
A Singer treadle
Unfinished dress coat
Embracing a mannequin
Never to be worn
In a chair she sits
Her hands methodically stitch
Unseen material
She turns her head slightly
As she dismisses her guest
Good night Mom is heard

Resounding Pellets
Beading up hitting windows
The storm rages on
From my youthful eyes
Five steps down red brick sidewalk
Freedom is waiting
A nuisance puddle
For travelers of the day
Cars moving so slow
The echos of pleas
Badgering my mom please please
Let us go outside
A pond of water
To Nellie Albatelley's
Clear across two roads
Finally a yes
Finding appropriate clothing
Without causing fuss
Bare feet and raincoat
Head soaked wading cold water
Presence of laughter
Chattering blue lips
surrendering to chilled bones
Thirty minutes in
Tossing aside clothes
Wrapped securely in blankets
Sharing body heat
Robbed of energy
Eyes closing unwillingly
Afternoon nap time
Cascade windswept rain
Torrential downpour falling
Rain on Eustis street

Living
Seeing the sun rise
Waves crashing salt sea air
Tasting sweet strawberry
One
Reflections of mind
Meditation prayer pause
Finding my balance
Degree
Measuring limits
Remaining true to one's self
I determine it
Below
Under the radar
Not keeping with the Masses
Love is my treasure
My
Keeping self esteem
Refusing to be put down
Voicing opinions
Means
With all that I have
Sleeping bundled on a bench
Waiting for shelter

Night in the woods....
Eyelids are resting
Constant motion is at hand
On a starlit night
Gentle winds carry sound
Predators call is noticed
Deep in a forest
Birds are rustling
Alarming others be still
Art of avoidance
A high piercing cry
Death comes swiftly delivered
Instantly over
As light fills the sky
Darkness surrenders its hold
Bringing on the dawn
