A Beautiful Sight


A Beautiful Sight

The time has come

to show your light.

Let your yellow petals

brighten up the night.

What a beautiful sight.

Your flower closes.

Petals crinkle, turn orange.

You sit nearby

when the next light

brightens up the night.

What a beautiful sight.

Dark Beauty


Dark Beauty

The beauty of the primrose
reaches its peak during darkness not light.
Blooms spend nights giving shows.

The Average Day


The Average Day

Day breaks.
Colors splinter
the sky, catch
the eyes of those
who rise early.

Night falls.
The sun drops.
Darkness descends,
brings day to
an end.

What breaks and
falls do we  face
in between?

How is your day? Have you found something to write about?

Noises in the Night


Noises in the Night

Noises in the night
are amplified.
Background sounds
have been put to bed.
What made that thud?
Was it inside or out?
Grab the phone and
look around.
A motor starts.
The car pulls away.
Calm is restored
and sleep follows.

Do you hear things go bump in the night? Are you more aware of these sounds as Halloween approaches?

Winter Nights


Winter Nights

Winter nights seem colder
now that I am older.
The pain in my bones
rises as the degrees dive.
Sweaters and blankets
provide temporary relief
as does turning up the heat.
Are the nights colder or
have I lost the capacity
to hold onto the warmth.

Night Flight


Night Flight

Outside the window
Stark darkness
Absence of illumination
No moon
No stars
No lights
Is anything out there?
Suddenly, in the
upper left-hand corner,
a rhythmic flash appears
that seems to say
wing, wing, wing.

Do you like to fly at night and glide through the darkness or do you prefer to be surrounded by blue sky?
