improving

my inner dialogue

icicles melt

under the touch

of high sun

frozen lake

another bout

of writer's block

starlight

I remember

who I am

*Published in Issue #121 of Hedgerow: a journal of small poems

lost in thought

a moss-covered trail

brings me home

*Published in Issue #120 of Hedgerow: a journal of small poems

night's edge

what I can no longer

ignore

forgiveness

deep in the forest

soft light

uncharted land

this life

beyond skin

at home

in my body

new dawn

*Published in Issue #118 of Hedgerow: a journal of small poems

wrapping

your arms around me

lakeside breeze

envious...

how water moves

with the wind

no make-up

today I greet nature

as I am

diamonds...

what the sun makes

of the ocean

*Published in issue #113 of Hedgerow: a journal of small poems

autumn dusk

the lengthening

of solitude

crepuscolo d'autunno
il prolungamento
della solitudine
