My Phantom Limb

October 15, 2018 by Dale 5 Comments

Broken Tree Limb

A phantom limb I feel your pain gone and dead. I walk with a limp now four years a broken limb ripped from my trunk weathered wormed worn gone and dead. A limb warm still beating and bursting golden into a sky ready to burst with tears still rustling through my fingers. A limb that…

Sunset

April 29, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

With the waning, the closing of the day I fight to hold onto the dying light Watching sun burn quiet into a star Strength fading from hot white to cold black night Lost in transformation, my faith is found In tranquil treasures of a changing sky Gradients radiance burst hopes aglow Rusted, reborn, recast, regenerates…

Our Garden

April 22, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Georgic Landscape

Give birth to new life among young grasses and wild daffodils spring on legs still wet Till hearts prepared to taste a rhapsody of rain drops dripped heirlooms sown deep Sweep beams with sunshine walk the earth caught on sweeping swallow wings grow germinate grow Angry arguments pull like peeling paint from iris petals done…

I Hear Your Call

April 21, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Blossoms

Rise Once Again

April 13, 2017 by Dale 1 Comment

Iris Surprise

Birth bountiful beauty – rise once again lift death from desiccated innocence Purple pastel petals – rise once again peel perfect light, a luminescent life Poems in passion ink – rise once again love letters crumpled in a perfume box Wish I might, pray I will – rise once again release whispered blessings into blue…

nine times nine

April 9, 2017 by Dale 2 Comments

my path is strung upon misted air its bridge I follow across divide my eyes are welded white with a stare caught in the blue of your memory its an apparition of nowhere reflected on a current of green our visions moving lines out of square fingers clutch against the flowing tide a strip of…

Everywhere

April 6, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Perspective

“There!” A landing spot a picnic park warm rock upon to roost. Here Gather the sky against a quickening heart a take off drop. Where Emptiness fills a horizon premonition of loss.
