the sun sits pretty

the sun sits pretty
as we paint the autumn sky
we watch setting sun
holding hands, we silently
ponder what path to follow

linger

I spent many days and nights
waiting for your arrival
but hopes are starting to
fade like sun in autumn
 
perhaps you will arrive
like a bright spring morning
or under golden brown leaves
 
I can only hope and dream
though doubts still linger

Early September

I listen to the softness
of a September afternoon
extended tree limbs break
the light casting shadows
across the grass
I soak in the remaining
hot sun before its retreat
at autumn’s arrival

- Written for Twiglet #244 - breaks light

passing the time with music

as a kid I remember
placing the needle onto
the groove of vinyl records
 
in time music played
from cassette tapes
I collected in boxes
 
in college shiny CDs
eliminated the risk
of broken tapes
 
now electronic devices
fill my silence with
nostalgic songs
