Night Vision
Falling snow
in the light of night
creating
hues of blue
reflecting a bright darkness –
takes my breath away.

ONE IN A MILLION
Alone
in the midst of a bustling city.
Unknown.
Alone.
Surrounded yet on his own.
He feels pretty
alone
in the midst of a bustling city.

Ekphrastic Love
EKPHRASTIC LOVE
If
a
picture
is worth a
thousand words, then he
shall borrow all that he can to
describe the beauty he sees while gazing upon her.
In turn, he will lend her his eyes so she can see her
-self as the beauty that she is,
to see her full worth.
Their true love
is give
and
give.

FOUNDATION OF MY HEART
Iowa ~
where the tall corn grows.
lightning bugs
dance at night,
and the work ethic is strong ~
it’s where I’m from–home.

THE TRAIL LIES AHEAD
The morning mist surrounds her
and vast open land awaits.
Nothing stands in her way ~ yet,
she hesitates,
waiting in silence.
Sensing her world will soon change,
she pauses to soak in this
place of peace.
