Star Gazing

Imposing expanse
Dark embrace
Beckoning lights
Hope and fear mingle
I reach
Yearning to fly
Yet not completely disappointed
That my feet stay on the ground.

Flight


On immense, undulating grasslands
Framed by towering snow-capped mountains
An open expanse rolling like ocean waves
Swept by gusts careening down from the mountain peaks
And an endless blue sky above
Caressed by clouds full of the promise of rain
On the tide of winds
Soaring
Diving
Climbing
Gliding with my hands spread out over the top of the wild grasses

This is where my soul lives.

Cobwebs in the Corners

Cobwebs in the corners
Only seen when I lay in bed
Unwilling to turn off the light
And surrender the day

Cobwebs in the corners
A relic of melancholy spiders
Reminding me
I will not dream
Until I turn off the light

Home


When looking out the window
Greeted by leaden skies
And the deep stillness of a winter morning after a snowfall
I am most at home.
