Dry leaves rustling

Listening for Fall

On my back gazing upward

Dry leaves rustling

Twilight

Brilliant twilight sky

Outlining the pure, dark form

Of oak trees above

Sunflowers

The ten sunflowers
You bought for her have wilted.
Why don’t you notice?

Wind Through Branches

The tree dances.
The tree is alive.
Am I?

Beach Day

April 29, 2014May 3, 2014 / Erica S. / Leave a comment

Pure white sea foam
Warm beige sand
Vibrant green waves
Deep blue ocean full of life
And the lightest blue sky you can imagine

Rest

Reading my textbooks
On the couch all afternoon
Watching the light fade

A stray butterfly
Flitting through eucalyptus
Safe from the strong wind

Sound at Night

Awake before dawn
Listening to the surf roar
A mile away

Softening

Heart swelling with love
Like high tide on a full moon
Sudden clarity

Phoebe’s Dream

Scooby-dooby-doo

Follows alligator prints

Who stole the salad?
