holiday mode still present
mountain air crispy and cool
mooing of country cows
foraging on roadside apples
the fresh cold morning
the fireplace still warm
the hot shower steam
the pot of freshly brewed tea
spread of sweet honey liquid
on a crusty sourdough bread
ensure the needed nutrition
for a challenge of today
the sun is out and up
the breeze is mellow
the car is full of energy
and so are we
recharged and ready
to embrace the day
in a country of
fluffy wombats
the sun opened each wild flower
caressing her soft petals gently
the breeze stroked all the leaves
bending the long growing grass
it was a day with not a cloud in sight
walking across the bridge hand in hand
into the fields of golden light
their touch invisible to the naked eye
their journey together was near the end
spontaneously lifting her black veil
showing an empty space
then a hesitant kiss
the sudden darkness
remembering her duties
he followed into the field
never to return
alive

Clawfoot bathtub
In the middle of
The living room
Provided a view
The family just
Finished breakfast
Kids ready
To leave the house
The doorbell rang
Shuffling feet
The youngest
Went to open
Having lived
In the house
Ten years
Today
What a surprise
To receive
A letter
From the landlord
Inside it read
Dear tenant
We are retiring
And moving back
You are asked
To move out
At the end of
This moon
The furnishings
Are to be returned
In original
Condition
Your time
Is up
In the air
Sincerely yours
The Royals

the best
friend
finger tips
kiss the keys
ever so gently
pause
awaiting
sense of calm
expectation
brings
fidgeting
questions
arising
inside
time to
write
continuously
letters pouring
seemingly
unrelated
on the screen
silently
suddenly
poem
birthed
alive
the dna
of chaos
unwound
words
leap forward
into space
transformation
happens
unexpectedly
mind
of a poet
unleashed
