RARE MOMENT
2006

Like the sky;
    vast and encompassing,
a veil of silver lace mist
  envelops a stand of deepest green.
The bright scent of pine and
   fresh morning dew.

Listening to the soft cadence;
the pattering of falling dew
on fallen leaves.

A quietness decends,
    not so different, and as rare
as the morning fog.

Pain melts into rainwater
   flows through rock and soil,
filtering away impurities, memories, despair and
             leaving behind water beyond pure;
touched by the bones of Mother Earth.
RAINY DAY

The rain falls,
From a sky to bright to be called grey.

And I�m so fat today;
Aren�t I lucky?

Enough to have so much
I can complain about it
And worry about not having enough.
Lucky enough to mope and
Write poetry
And get paid.

So I walk further,
The rain stops.
A curl of my hair blows in my eye,
Orange and yellow like
The leaves trying to turn colors.

But just trying.
