Brick
A gap was gashed
into a stout wall
by winds that lashed
until bricks would fall
through nature’s fists —
a corner lies bare,
now stripped of its
invulnerable air.
This new-cast flaw
forges the wall anew,
now hardened and raw:
In this new role, it grew.
The wall withstands
and bears its proud scars
to spite the sands
from the hourglass’ shards.

Antidote
I’m caught in jaws of an urban vise,
until I’m red in the face —
A tiny taste of Paradise
hard by the concrete waste:
In a quiet park, a footbridge
spans a creek that flows
down a verdant dandelion-fringed
hill in emeralds clothed.
The water warbles naiad hymns
on harps of polished stones.
They lead me to a place within
where the tree of life now grows.

"Plants" 2025/05/04
Don't lose hope! We are partners!
I'll lend an ear whenever you need me,
and deafen myself when you don't.
I'll be watering my own garden, but
if yours is dehydrated I won't hesitate.
Please inspire my plants to shine
with your luminescent glow.
Let's mentor our plants together.

Daisy
In a desert of stone
and rubble and dust,
a tiny sprout breaks through
the thick crust of rust.
Stand tall, my daisy —
stand tall.

Weekness
A #poem
Monday I met another
Tuesday we spoke our troth
Wednesday I wept my marriage-death
Thursday I broke that oath
Friday we came together
Saturday we fell apart
Sunday I drowned in tears
and for years I tried to restart.
The weakness of a bleeding heart —
whose yawning void won’t be filled —
just draws more hearts into its hole
and spreads a love unfulfilled.

The dogwood
A #poem
A dogwood I planted
back when my dad died
reminds me of my home
that I had to leave behind
It blooms now every year
right on his death day
Its white flower is his angel
so he’s with me on my way
The cat has left the cradle
and the silver spoon is gone
and the little boy blue
is now a man walking on

Spring dusk
Tulips in the sun
tucked in horizon’s blanket —
A bedtime story
