I watch seasons
Turn I have
Seen the blossoms
Of spring slowly
Pop into summer
And the late
Fall winds carry
Leaves to winters
Carpet I have
Caught snowflakes
On my tongue
And built snowmen
With their siblings
I’ve witnessed springs
Warmth melt the
Dead of winter
Into slippery slush
And rarely been
Surprised until I
Stumbled across you
A new season
And then he
Shone in the
East like that
One lone star
Leading me to
This a place
Where a simple
Hello unlocked
Unbuttoned unsnapped unveiled
Me to another
I talked to
You about nakedness
And now I
Stand here exposed
Wondering when the
Laughter will start
The sun hits
The tree tops
Like foamy crests
On ocean waves
All white and
Rolling as the
Sun moves higher
Into the sky
Tree trunks lean
Like firewood against
Each other and
Oh the smell
Of earth bathes
My nostrils there
A damp coolness
Like a refrigerator
Door opening in
July on the
Forest floor as
Dew streaks all
The car windows
I know now
That my time
In Charlotte is
But a resting
Place soon my
Wings will carry
Me to my
Spiritual place somewhere
In the high
Deserts of New
Mexico where I
Will finally roost
And make peace
With my Gods
Oh and then
He said hello
Oh I stared
Squinting from the
Suns glare haloing
Him uncertain how
He looked unable
We simply talked
Like strangers on
A bus until
A cloud covered
The sun and
Saw him and
As suspected there
Stood an Angel
