COBALT

blue marble
spins as it rotates
‘round yellow
ball of fire.
Elemental connections:
fire, earth, air, water.

ALL THAT REMAINS

Quietly
we ride the tide of
still waters
while she drops
into horizon’s divide
and is lost at sea.

RETURNING HOME
(a shadorma)

I’m drawn by
the prevailing winds
that bring you
home to me.
I’m waiting where the water
laps our shingled shore.

WITH THE FLOW
(a shadorma)

One season
flows into the next.
Hot Summer
days replaced
with cool nights, surrounding us
with colors of Fall.

DON’T FORGET ME
(a shadorma)

When you’re gone
I will still be here,
waiting for
my next ship
to come in. Steadfast and true,
I will help her, too.
