Snow falling                 
fluffy flakes
drifting
down to quietly
create a
winter blanket

Closed Doors
Crystallization of promises
empty, bereft, void of
new beginnings
tattered remnants of
wind-blown flags
announcing images
hewn on stone
an audience of one
behind closed doors
only visions of
dreams becoming
something more
brandishing a looking
glass tantamount to
something tangible
discovery of
peace in living
as oneself believing                      
unbridled freedom as
passion limited only
by closed doors
opened by
estuaries limitless
pathways giving
into possibilities
a cryptic meaning
rhythmic beating of
a heart still waiting
Discovering that the
Door is Always Open

#14 Small Stone: Loving Light
Surely the light will
fade and grow dim as
loved ones leave us
behind but most surely
they remain within
our loving hearts

#13 Small Stone: Eyes of Intelligence
Behold eyes that                         
speak intelligence
begging the question
from humans that
know so very little
unable to understand
felines are so much
more than curious

#12 Small Stone: Woven Ties
Life woven together intrinically
with indelible ink that may fade
with time but not alter the
unalterable truth of those we
connect to as families of origin
with ties that bind over time

Magical Transport
Holding the Book of Magic in
your hands you are transported
to those far and distant lands
where your domain beneath trees
is a forest quest at your command
Richly dressed in jaded green a
garment fine red with crimson
satin sheen holding court nigh
as the Fairy Queen a crown of
poinsettia atop garlanded hair
Hovering ’round the air in your
splendid court you might oft see
miniature Phoenix wisely bred to
rise up and set you free as the
pages turn in the Book of Magic

Another submission to Poet’s United Poetry Pantry. The image totally captured my imagination.
#11 Small Stone: Idle Wheels
Progress comes
with technology
pursuing
affording some luxury
others alone
with none and
have left the past
turning of some
wheels that are
now left idle

#10 Small Stone: Web of Life
Life strong as a spider
web holding life and
holding death never as
strong as we imagine
fragile enough to be
broken apart never to
actually be grasped

Small Stone: Glass Beads
Tiny droplets of water      
like fragile glass beads
settling on blades of
grass pure life giving
sustaining a future

Small Stone: Captured
The mighty sound of the ocean
may be captured by the conch
shell or perhaps the previous
resident left a gift for the
recipient to listen in wonder
