Storms

 

storms,

no harbor of calm,

just wave after wave,

storm upon storm,

as the days pass by.

 

 

trees and wild flowers in the mountains

 

flower under attack

old bridge across a creek

 

a bridge across a creek,

symbol of moment in time,

can I go over and then come back,

or am I trapped by the decision made,

as the bridge, rotten and old,

begins to fall into the creek.

 

scratchings

 

 

the meeting

the meeting, awkward,

words unspoken,

a story unread,

silence,

both walking away,

with images in their minds of what might have been,
