bare branches

after long winter

a crow builds a nest

a painting against the blue sky

celestial canvas

keeps light

leaves under my feet

the last fall memory

talking river

at dawn

sun's kissing the silky sky

the road spins

 the isles enchanted by

an azure river's spell

chirping

as if we met

sparrows

heart-shakes

the world wide

in Love

remembering path...

When trying

bleeding your path

left goes first,

right remembering

vulnerability…

persisting to face

for how long?

until pain overcome

releasing it

moaning loud

the neighbors' sigh

in turmoil

what she’s up to

kids keep playing

a cacophony of ‘I am’

tongue touches

the top palate

thoughts disappear

who knew it’s

silence inside

white noise,

vacuum,

mentality spikes

and ready for

alienation

to clear the soul

eternity river

returning back to a body

it’s cold, it’s odd, it’s cracked,

the holes sigh

mistrustfully…

hey, you, what the 

light you brought,

we burnt it

yesterday…

The classroom grew of apprentices as she never looked at the clock.

Steady playing I hear your voice…

The mark of spring

Late chirping call able to startle

the rinse of weary sunset

mingling with clouds

filtering the charm

offered by sky artist...

Dark-eyed Junco, 
the family of sparrows,

on the thin limbs

announces its departure,

tries the last bit of grass seed,

and disappears…

Spring has come.
