Not the fool’s game of
Oppression, innocuous
Horseback ride of March
Hear the rider’s giggles
Hums of the horse
Songs of nature
Philly wishes for the
Golden sunbeam of
April lifts the rascals
She’s endured summer
Gust and the storm
Why more pain?
Winter admonishes
Strive to rise will free
Her from the oppressor

trying to
convince one
it’s a silver coin
on a tree branch
when it’s moon
caught on faulty lens

We usually walk alone,
savoring the purposeful
loneliness, mind private
affairs woven in
complicated web,
tread on the chosen line,
toward the point of
renewal, keeping an eye
on self-invited
companion raping
vulnerable brain.
We walk together with
opined moon and the
dancing lamp light,
yet we walk alone.

boulders and pines
reciprocate
with moisture
and shade
like good neighbors

Shadows of yesteryears
unseen, moans of pains,
toils, hopes echo, muted.
Cold winter days
faded into the longed
glory earned, leaving the
shack behind, wishful thought,
not cloud vain, wordless wind.
The empty dwelling embraces
the memory lived, dreamed.
As the star’s song of happy
ending fades, golden
sunbeam cheers the new
beginning of the season, lifts
the spirit of the passerby.
