2017.10.31: siren

just below surface
a song begun before time
sweet longing for home

2017.10.30: spark

daybreak’s rosy glow
spilling onto clouds and streams
ignites dormant hearts

Flowers, voice so bright
will your tune remain lively
after freeze tonight

yellow wildflowers
blanketing autumn roadside
songs of rain and shine

edge of consciousness
sound of branches scraping house
winds of change speaking

predawn silhouette
cow grazing on nub
sunrise bursting forth

shortening day lengths
reminder of fewer days
hold each one loosely
