daffodils thrust up
through cold January dirt
planted years ago
over beloved pet's grave—
reminder that life goes on

come dance with me, my love, I care not where
on a sandy beach, our steps we shall share
while the sun is high, we waltz, hot and slow
as our thoughts take on a sensual glow
and we dream of night, our bodies laid bare
take my hand, lead me to a field so fair
where we glide with daisies, without a care
as rain patters down, and the sun sinks low
come dance with me...
hold me tightly in the crisp mountain air
as dusk gives way to night, without a prayer
our bodies sway ‘neath the moon’s argent glow
and we come together, a liquid flow
with stars in our eyes, one more time, mon cher,
come dance with me...

cold December morn
cardinal perches on bare branch—
looks back on autumn

through winter's white hush
half-frozen creek meanders

Featured image is my own watercolor landscape. I painted it about a year ago, and it was my husband’s all-time favorite.

sun rises golden
pink, blue, and, periwinkle
lone pine tree looks down
on lesser neighbors’ cast-offs—
high-and-mighty green

north wind caterwauls
chilling late October morn
pampas grass shivers
fall settling in
on a heart that’s winding down
north wind caterwauls
turning blood to sluggish ice
death looms over horizon
