In an empty sky
Your melting Icarus wings
Land in deep blue eyes
A new day a new haiku
In an empty sky
Your melting Icarus wings
Land in deep blue eyes
Cumulonimbus
Rolling darkly overhead
A murder of crows
The Earth and her moon
Spin and rotate together
Symbiotically
Golden daffodils
Will soon be hanging dead heads
Years leave us behind
On the patio
In the fading evening glow
Imagine the past
Each day is different
The yesterday you is gone
Try not to forget
Across swelling seas
Currents rip and tides spring to
Bring you back to me
Like a little kite
The line waxing and waning
Reel me in again
Salty blue pools ebb
And trickle into the sea
Following the moon
Whispers in the night
Winding through secret dark lanes
Only in starlight
Solitary heron
This hazy grey evening light
Belongs to your kind
Everything stood still
In this hazy spring evening
To watch the birds glide
Were you standing here
My arboreal old friend
When they laid these stones?
A burning orange
Hangs behind budding branches
Another day dies
Long lost melodies
Reverberate from ruins
A midnight vigil
In a soupy mist
We wend and wind and whisper
Across horseshoe pass
In a sterile pool
So far from the teaming sea
I miss the ocean
I’ll hide away here
Deep down under the cold ground
Still hibernating
Heavy lumps of ice
Beaten by the wind and rain
Low pressure rolls in
My paper bag eyes
Flutter and swoop as a bird
Drifts slowly downstream
Long low evening sun
Paints the world a dreamy hue
Sleepwalking back home
When the sun collides
Fading like purple jasmine
Another day dies
Under the bright lights
In the darkness of the night
This time play it right
Rattling thunder shakes
And lightning flashes brightly
Like the old streetcar
