If I May Be Honest

not enough love poems
have been written
for the leaves
sparkling wildly
in golden hour light
or the river’s
tender aria
playing dawn to dusk
simply
for anyone who
wishes to hear

Why Not

you can be
anything in the world
so why not
be a parachute
covered in the most luminous
warm hues
helping others land
gracefully
after a most precarious fall

Hummingbird

it must be
how starlight
falls upon this
foreign city
because I tell you
I could roam this earth
non-stop
as the vagabond
I wish I could be
with only the essentials
slung upon my back
and your hand
nestled in mine

First Snow

when I see
for the first time
each year
the way snow reflects
a shimmering moon
upon a world 
fast asleep
I might as well
be a child again
opening her first present
on Christmas Eve
