theater

The theater lifts

life above the status quo

story, costumes, lights

 

life beyond

sunrise and sunset

heavenly journey markers

life beyond this realm

winter’s season

winter’s barrenness

produces life’s great blueprints

season for dreamers

 

tangy

sticky juice sprayed my

glistening face as I indulged

tangy ripened fruit

seafaring strangers

ancient melodies

of seafaring strangers rise

with the sea waves

 

spring’s spigot

Today I’d like to

sail across the silv’ry sea

seeking spring’s spigot

pansy faces

bright pansy faces

straining their heads to the sun

cheering me homeward

winter’s bloom

winter’s bloom withers

and hope of spring is distant

logs sing in the fire

winter’s skeletons

winter’s skeletons

stark against the dusky sky

I pause in wonder

 

 

austere filigree

austere filigree

winter’s barren branches hide

summer’s rip’ng fruit
