A Short Vacation.....I Think.

Hi to all my readers and friends. I am leaving on Thursday for a short trip to see my sister. She has built a second home in Canton Georgia. Her other house is in Sarasota Fla. I have never been to this new MEGA house. Three stories built into a Mountain side. What two people do in a house so large I don't know. Oh well at least it won't be as hot as H_ll. Be back soon. ;-) Oh, the I think is because she makes my do house work when I'm there.

Identity....Unknown

sorrow grows in my heart
a willow tree bent and heavy with tears
pale green leaves dripping onto
newly tilled earth a barren mound

wherein lies forgotten unmarked summers end
a life never lived
a love never known
a name never given

pain which has no end
grief which knows no bounds
loss which has no meaning
unholy ground with no salvation

time will not cover my raw wound
no green will ever grow
too late too late
whispers the willow tree

winter pervades my thoughts
ice rain grips my soul
tho the still green willow leaves
move softly in the sun warmed winds

pale green willow leaves summers end
gently fall where I would lie
forsaking all humanity
to sleep to rest sweet oblivion

beneath the weeping willow leaves
that shades you still
beneath all worries
some other green to cover me

Two For Tuesday

happiness blossom
springs eternal evermore
love exists beyond death

Deserted

painted shades melted rock
ancient days of bitten sun
deserted paths of gold

and

I spend each hour alone
counting moments from the past
deserted by time

The Phoenix

Oh, majestic bird
With broad jewel wings
Soar sweet bird, enigma

Born of heaven gift to man
Soar high skimming treetops
Shadow the evening red-orange sun

Fly jeweled bird flashing sparkling
Violet-green against the blue sky
Fly free, free just a little while

As earth and air pivot your binds free
Free free just a little while
Till time and heaven decree

Spin sparks flying in a spiral downward dance
To burn hot flames, blaze within the melted sun
burnt black ashes your only mark

Just a little while, a little while
When once more rising from black remains
Jeweled feathered wings spread wide

Free of earths nature your chains unbound
Soar high upon sweet angel wings, magical journey
High in the cool cool moon light mist

High and free echoing cries, pure joy
From ashes to bird of Eden
Fly high and free forever more

Spin.....Dried

dishes clash in the the sink
goodbyes echo down the hall
coffee cold with crusted milk
a story retold each new day.

laundry loaded to the top
hot wash cold rinse
colors whites must separate
turn nob permanent press heavy load.

endless repartition of my life
endless
endless
buzzer sounds wash done load again.

each day caught in a web spins out my blood
in empty coffee cups left cold
ringing dry my every thought
till numb when final rinse cycle is done.

#3 Word Wednesday

Late but here mine.

empty shells on the waves
ride the tides of lost souls
sand castles ignored recede

Haiku...Simple Beauty

morn's early songbirds
moons crescent wains
angelic chorus lights sky

Queen Anne's Lace

forgotten of days passed
seed of whim and chance
wild Queen Anne's lace
