LoversSnow

I think that love 
Falls from heaven just
Like snow at night
It’s known to be
There but only seen
When either caught in
The street lamps light
Or the brightness of
The eyes of the
Lovers giving and receiving

Sunrise

The sky lightened slowly 
Yawning and stretching like
A napping cat moving
From the shadowy sofa
To the sunlit windowsill
Basking there like most
People do as they
Slowly start their day
The sun reminding them
That yesterday had its
Own sun and that
Today’s belongs to them

Life

And as I watch
The eastern horizon lighten
While sleepily scoop pour
And percolate the coffee
In this moment of
Dawn I am reminded
What life really means
It’s the little things
All the little things
Like sunrise and coffee
And kissing you awake
That makes my life
To me worth living

Pond (for Jadon)

The tap tap tap 
Of life always requires
That the old guard
Make room for new
Yes those who are
Older possess reflection we
Know where the ponds
Are but it will
Always be the young
Who find the swing
In order to dive
Headlong into this life
And make their splash

Cleave

And with one quick
Blow my heart of
Which I was certain
Has been cleaved in
Half one side dying
And the other pumping
How does one say
Goodbye to one part
And hello to another
Even at my age
I sit and wonder
Even though this has
Happened before I still
Sit wondering not if
But when my one
Heart will be enough
For just eventually one
