SCATTERED

here at this
earth place

dust lifts
from the
smooth walkway

carried without
choice

released
unequally onto
distant places

as the parts
scatter and
divide

###

REFLECTION

the moon
in the mirror

it’s strength
pulls the gaze
and tides
to its
bright crooked smile
or its dark side
of mystery

as it listens to wishes,
prayers, confessions,
songs, ancient chants
and wolves

yet caring not for
your tears,
broken heart
or loss

###

MISS IT NOT

the color
of day
walks out
as a weary
dusk yields
to night
stretched
under
uncounted stars
where
a streaming moon
appears as
cool water
touching the
alive
of what most
miss
