the close of day

the view across the pond

I am intrigued by sunsets ~

bewitched,

bewildered

&

frightened.

I see more than days

passing

into

nights

&

kaleidoscopes of color

swallowed

by

darkness.

I see moments approaching ~

slipping away

&

chapters ending ~

never to be lived…….

again.

~ patiently ~

my eyes wait ~ patiently ~

for

Spring to unveil its priceless splendor…….

back at it……..

Des Plaines River Trail

free of the vortex

trekking beside phantom tracks

joy of snowshoeing

Luna’s lullaby

cradled by moonbeams

turning pages of a dream

swaddled in slumber

~ inner fire ~

each burning brighter

aspiring to go farther

goals are limitless

electrifying

~

your imagination ignites my dreams,

inspires ideas

and

transports me

to

a realm deep

within

i never knew existed…

~

~

scintillating

ϒ

such

quiet grace

can

catapult

one’s imagination

into

a

state of wonderment

~

where flickers arouse the senses

and

the luster

impels

a

dance

of

passion
