Stepping Through - edited

A slit cut through
gray, layered bunting
morning sky

Yellow light and white light
Sol walking, pushing,
stepping through
a portal he cut
knee-high curtain,
left leg, right arm
through the canvas of the clouds.

propelling the light
onto the stage
starting the day

Daily Anniversaries

Finding the right words
Overwhelmed, blessed
Shouting my love
each day, for you

Bursting with joy now
and from the first kiss.

Stronger and stronger are the feelings;
from a place I have never been,
even from the beginning.

Here's to a lifetime together –
precious minute by special minute.

Pair

A pair
trumpeter swans
pressed close
in the sliver
open water
between the growing ice
in the pond
beside the highway
this November morn

Parting

I can't wait
for Saturday
when our parting
is but of our lips

When we don't have to leave
each other's side;
when we can linger
and love

Morning Drive

A skin of frost on the ground,
in the branches, the yellowed fields
film of ice on the pond
low fog lit on down the road
light in the windshield
shafts highlight
glowing milkweed pods
bursting for later rebirth
Quiet, rumble of the engine
Heading from home
heading to work
reversed in the dark
