***
your voice sings
Happy Birthday to me
frozen on my phone
forever
how lucky I wasn’t home
when you first called
that year
***
a lone train whistle
through the open window
late at night
came to something
moving forward
***
Dave Matthews
Stevie Ray Vaughn
BB King
Joe Bonamassa
my blues brothers
***
Chihuly
pulls you upward
in a colour explosion
at the Bellagio
Vegas, Baby!
***
grant me patience to
see the good in all
people
even when it’s hard
especially when it’s
hard
that’s when I need it
the most
***
sometimes haiku is
not enough space to
convey
all that is needed
two more lines are
required
so a tanka is the form
***
the raindrops
cry my tears for me
of sadness for your loss
and empathy
for those closest to you
***
you taught me Scrabble
as a very young girl
we played together often
each time I’ve ever
since
your memory plays a hand
***
fireflies flashing
in the inky black night
as
we sweat in the heat
of unnecessary fire
lit for ambiance
***
I love a dark night
and the time to be
a stargazer
