Transparent as the moon

Transparent as the moon
On this bright afternoon
We cannot erase nouns
As for the verbs, too soon

Reaching for back pockets
For the object before 
The answers always here
Like the creak in the floor

Swirling into settle

Swirling into settle
Clouds covering the sky
Large raindrops falling on
The sped up passerby

Owls inch closer to trunks
Safety not for granted
The heavens release and
The passerby panted

Silence sings its own song

Silence sings its own song
Ribbon melody thought
Nighttime has many shades
Levels of light and naught 

Faces are a timepiece 
Expressions a second
The hours for attention 
Worry wrinkles beckon

Whistle through a rainstorm

Whistle through a rainstorm 
Weather without control
Accepting gravity
Not a box, be a ball

Out here in elements 
The robins in relish
Living a celebrate
Without an embellish

In love with a goodness

In love with a goodness
Authentic kindness roots
Excuse me and thank you
Sorry for muddy boots

Considerate and true
A healthy self promote
Trying to make better
With empathy emote

In a private lament

In a private lament
Snagged on a twilight star
Buried in passing clouds
The heart that felt too far

Feet in Antarctica 
And head in the Arctic
Soul on the equator 
Compassion cathartic

In the ordinary

In the ordinary 
The love of the simple
The threads in a button
Landscapes with a dimple

The beauty of hand made
The hope of a mere glance
Happy thoughts we carry
The success side of chance
