greys and blues and soft amber horizons

Lately
whispered snowflakes in the blue hour of dawn,
dreams of a swirling turquoise sea,
sparkling quartz crystals and
gleaming sapphires in midnight skies
Storm
she was a roiling,
sinister
storm
Stillness
a stillness
a quiet
a smile
and
a nod
Early
early, with a hush and a heavy silence,
while the kitchen smells of coffee
and the pup sleeps under warm blankets,
the sun calls at the door
The Future
the years pass
like flickering lights on glass,
one
lined up after another—
and we save the happiest ones
in our tiny treasure boxes
in our dresser drawers
in a corner of our best selves
hoping to see them
reflected
within the frame
of the future
The Dying Day
dark thoughts
seep into the dampness
of the dying day
A letter to January
Dear January,
You are long and bleak, you are monochromatic and suffocating.
You curl around yourself like a sleek grey cat, turned inward, oblivious and self-assured, unfazed by your chilling effect. I want to like you, to embrace you to see the good in your wintry silence, but your indifference haunts me and I am left counting the days until spring.
a garland of thoughts
she writes pages and pages of words–
long convoluted sentences
pared down to a small handful of rounded letters,
strung together and
waiving in the wind
Morning Sky
in the clear blue morning sky, the crows flew
and their cries carried the day
