Success

Ruthless little saviours
in palaces of tin
All the shiny things
but smiles paper thin

Instaperfect families
Seduced by style and fame
I wonder if the happiest
refuse to play the game

Apart

Lost friends smile from sun-drenched dreams
beneath stone vaults and gnarled oak beams
we drink gold ale and roar with laughter
not thinking about what comes after
I awake with rue for those halcyon days
drifting bucolic in a long summer haze

The Heron

She swoops across an inkblot dawn
gold shimm’ring through dark grey
Arcs over slopes of emerald haze
a graceful ghost of white clay
Soaring southward overhead
a new day beneath her wings
Vanishing like a dream sublimed
as first light chorus sings

Curtains

When was it that color FLED
When vibrant beauty softly BLED
When rain FELL and heaven cracked
Here barren lands twist unmapped

YOU LET IT IN to rage and seethe
I HID and couldn’t move or breathe

PROMISES of star-strewn wonder
Behind that curtain just LIES thunder
The once bright mural’s faded gloss
Where were you when color was LOST
Where were you when color was
