Darkness

Source: We Heart It

Hiding in deep shadows

The darkness creeps in

Allowing me to retreat

From the rest of the world

 

My place of safety

A sanctuary when life

Becomes too much

 

I don’t fear darkness

For it is there to

Protect me until

I am ready to seek

The light

And…

Return to what is

Waiting within my

Reach

And…

Walk forward

The Nothing

Source: We Heart It

In life…

there is nothing

 

But…

 

There is nothing

that only exists

in our minds

 

And…

 

The nothing that is…

The nothing that 

is always there…

Hiding in the shadows…

Creeping around corners…

Dissolving into dark recesses…

 

We know that nothing

well because to us

it is real…

it is there…

it is pain…

This was inspired by a quote from The Snow Man by Wallace Stevens:

“Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.”

Traces…

Wandering…

 

Enjoying the coolness

of early the Autumn air

on my skin…

the brilliant blue sky…

a paintbox of colors

resting on the trees

 

Along the way

I feel for 

Traces of You…

Memories…

The life we shared…

 

The warmth of sunshine

filters through leaves

Creating shadows that

Tattoo my skin

And…

Once again…

I can feel you

Moon Girl

Source: We Heart It

Each night

She wanders 

not aimlessly

But…

With purpose

 

Night time is 

her Companion

The Moon her

sometimes lover

Tasting of 

night-blooming jasmine

Sweet Southern magnolias

And…

Smooth aged Kentucky Bourbon

 

This is her secret…

Her nighttime mission

Barefoot on dew soaked grass

and damp earth

 

She is grounded…

Reconnects with her spirit…

And…

The Universe…

Moon Magic

Source: WeHeartIt

A Full Moon

hangs just so high

in the sky

Mocking Me…

Laughing at Me…

Reminding Me…

 

That…

 

What we once 

had was based on

Moon Magic…

 

And…

 

That magic was 

for us individually…

 

And…

 

Together…

 

Now…

 

It mocks me…

Reminds me…

That I was

Not…

What was 

Meant…

To be…

Micropoetry

Micropoetry is a twitter phenom … creating a complete poem in the

confines of 140 characters.  I have not posted any of my micropoetry, but here

are two from last night that were inspired as I walked to the barn to feed the cats 

who live there.  My thanks to my dear friend Cletis L. Stump who has continued

to mentor me and teach me along my writing journey.

Summer Evening

… soft summer evening

startled birds……..

         take flight……….

 

 

Shadows

… neighborhood dogs

             … bark at their own

                                         SHADOWS

Forest of Words

Source: We Heart It

Walking under the stars

Seeking moonlight and shadows

Listen…

What is there…

What does she hear…

 

The forest speaks

whispering to her

words she cannot

quite understand

 

Soft sounds…

A forest of words

leading her through

the Night…

Lurking

Source: We Heart It

We all see you there

Hiding in the shadows

Lurking…

Sinister…

Foreboding…

 

Not wanting to be

Seen…

Yet…

Not able to leave

 

So…

 

We ignore you

And…

Leave you there alone

in your shadows

Not acknowledging

your Presence…

Spring Death

Source: We Heart It

You left me

in Spring

When air turned

grey and all

the flowers

Died…

 

 

Spring has become

a time of mourning

for me

Not the rebirth

and renewal 

which should be

happening

 

I barely survive…

each Spring

Becoming worse

than before

 

My life…

Grey…

Desolate…

Dust…

 

Yet…

 

Life goes on

The Dream…

Source: We Heart It

A pale thread of

golden light 

brushed her face

 

looking outside

she saw it lighted

a path in the 

Darkness…

 

Did she dare follow?

Where could it lead?

 

She felt as though

the light was

attached to 

her soul…

her very being…

Drawing her into

the Darkness…

the unknown…

 

Her feet were not

her own…

following the 

tiny lighted path

that ended in 

a glowing meadow

 

The light dimmed…

A figure emerged…

Calling her…

Beckoning…

Safe…

Secure…

 

Finally she saw him

The old  man said,

“I have been waiting for you.”

 

And…

 

The Dream Ended…
