Poem 011

When evening folds the fields in shades of blue,

The quiet earth reveals a different hue,

While sleeping gardens fade from mortal sight,

A secret world awakens with the night.


No summer warmth is needed for the seed,

No golden sky is required for its need,

It finds within the silence room to grow,

And learns the strength that colder hours bestow.


The moon lays silver fingers on the ground,

And fragile forms arise without a sound,

They carry all the beauty dusk can hide,

While patient darkness shelters them with pride.


Then morning comes with footsteps soft and slow,

And takes the little wonders where they grow,

Yet what the dawn erases from the view,

Still lives within the hearts that once it knew.

Poem 027

A girl chased a lantern that floated ahead,

Through forests of whispers where moonlight was spread,

She thought if she caught it, she'd finally know,

The place she was meant to arrive at and go,

So onward she followed wherever it led.


But dawn came too quickly and dimmed its bright flame,

The lantern grew distant and altered its name,

She stood in the clearing with nothing to chase,

Then saw golden sunlight spill over the place,

And realized she had arrived just the same.


The journey had given her more than the light,

It taught her to walk through the depths of the night,

She no longer needed one beacon to guide,

For she carried a spark that was burning inside,

And followed its glow toward the morning's wide sight.

Poem 025

A frozen window catches threads of white,

Drawn by an unseen hand throughout the night,

Each branch appears, then slowly disappears,

A fleeting kingdom made of frozen tears,

Too delicate to last for many years.


No seed was buried underneath the floor,

No careful gardener opened up a door,

Yet beauty found a place to take its form,

And held its ground against the winter storm,

As though the cold itself could keep it warm.


Perhaps the things we hide are made this way,

They need the quiet shelter of the gray,

They gather strength beyond the public eye,

And only bloom when noise has passed us by,

Then fade before the world can ask us why.
