winter gray and wind 

bare limbs silently swaying...

naked trees.... waiting

Dreamers Come True

Round and round, life.
Coming full circle, years...
My beloved dreamers in my arms, again...
My heart overflowing with emotion, love.
Those many years ago, so long gone,
When we said goodbye at my door,
And my heart broke into a million pieces....
You, and you, and you were in that van,
And I was left behind...
Today, I found myself, surrounded by your love.
... Life is strange, isn't it?
But, we are proof indeed, that
Love lasts forever.

Almost winter…

The cool breeze of sunset

Swaying cottonwood leaves,

Rustling, dancing in the air.

Eyes closed,

Enjoying the warmth of sunset in my face.

Gold light spilling,

Pervading, filling

That space between my heart …and

Peace.

Shattered illusions

Silk fan languidly swaying

Shadowing slow tears

these social networks
keep me constantly busy
vacation needed

beneath autumn sun
little lizards hide away
mossy greens and rocks

urban decoupage
glistening on wet pavement
brownish autumn leaves

his photo ID
social security card
first checking account
icons of his brand-new life
fresh immigrant... my brother

little granddaughter
illuminates this old life
today she turns eight

limberly swaying
dancing in the summer wind
slender young tree
