be

flakes of white cotton float
across the boarders of hope
light as feathers
distant as you
stares of silver stars freeze
through the universe of north
cold as ice
poignant as my dream
the sound of pastures
seemed yesterday
being hummed by crickets
crimson cherries lay
round and round
the corner of golden trees
the burden of life and death
love and loss should never
be
the hindrance of everlasting sweets

Evergreens

When the earth turned
Your eyes froze
In the wind
On the horizon
Every little step
I made
Flashes of the past
Lingered
Hovered
And hollered in vain
To fight back
I hated to say
Yet wanted to stay
Childhood of tiger lilies
Starry night with mellow hymns
Who painted the mystery
Of humanity
High in the sky of evergreens
Who played blues
Of roller coasters
With a touch from Aristotle
