*****To Welcome Morn*****

when the thick grey mist
rises up from
the still dark blue water
as mirrored glass
to greet the dawn
there is no doubt

once the sun’s rays
burn away
the damp & dark
of passing night
bird chorus
will welcome morn

Misty Morning

********Life’s Promise*********

leaves & petals
from spring flowers
lay limp
awash in a
rainwater puddle
amidst cigarette butts
on the railroad tracks

no longer admonished
or even praised
but part of
life’s discarded
no longer
part of life’s promise
