Suspended
marshmallow
clouds
hover
high above
rolling,
meandering
beneath
the sun’s
playful
eye,
suspended
and
weightless
within
their
own dimension
I
glance up, as
gravity
gives way,
floating
effortlessly
among
the shapes
that
swirl and ignite
my
eager imagination
each
ethereal image
I
see, carefully crafted
just
for me, before
twisting
and shifting
in
the drifting sky
and
on this timeless
summer’s
day
when
the heavens
echo my name
I
dare not close my eyes
or
look away,
that
I should miss
my
silent messages
from
above
Undiscovered
twilight
calls
me
like
a siren,
beckoning
me
to
awaken
and
embrace
her
silence
the
quiet
that
consumes
spaces
before
creatures
scurry
and
earth's
rumblings
roar
slumbering
still,
beneath
the
lustre of the
waning
moon
heavy
air
hovering
cool,
giving
way
to warm,
creeping
in
search of
daylight
and
I wonder
what
today
will
discover,
watching
darkness
slowly
dissipate
and
seep
through
silhouettes
outside
my window
waiting
until
the
blackbirdś
sharp
shrill
reverberates
above,
inviting
rumblings
to
rise
and
scurrying
to
start
as
silence
bows
down
before
dawn
Winter Haven
she
sits
on
the sofa
cradling
her
cup,
watching
snow
swirl
beneath
a
blustery
sky
and
she listens
to
the sound
of
the
whistling
wind
calling
her away
from
the demands
of
the day,
and
she brings her
cup
close
for
another sip
and
she watches
flurries
twist
and scurry,
her
shoulders
loosening
a
little
more
with
each
drifting
flake
and she sees
branches
sway,
while
tucked
tight
for
the
night,
beneath
winter’s
heavy
blanket
and
she is
weightless
