surrender a deciduous kaleidoscope.
A palette of color beyond Rembrandt’s hope
soon to run dry with winter’s ready drummer.
Still, there’s no reason . . . more

of progeny and spouse
in this, a three-room house.

Had his guidance . . . more

The power of sight; lost in the absence of light,
magnifies each of the four remaining senses.
Journey into a cave; direction you will crave,
as walls turn into impenetrable . . . more

The once-spire-like Birch bows in silent disdain.
Aspiring for the sun, she now sweeps the Earth;

while pondering years gone by.
Half a century behind you; hard to believe.
Regrets released in a sigh.
A lone seagull flies; squawking . . . more

Some might say it's an eerie sound,
the 'speech' of the leviathan.
Yet, her voice emits a language;
a dialect unknown by man.
Her voice echoes throughout the waves. . . . more

He tried again; invisible barriers impervious.
Resigned; he slammed the phone down.
As he . . . more

then motion for her to guide her by hand.
Hoisting upward, she leans a bit, then squares

The windswept oceans; waves cresting.
The majestic mountains rising high;
piercing the clouds, steps to the sky.
Ah yes, the animals; a myriad . . . more
