Tears Among Teak

Writer's picture: Words Among TreesWords Among Trees

Creaking green fingers

almost reach past the call

of crow

as wood voices loudly

interrupts the shush

of breeze

a butterfly's wings

decorate a pause

between thoughts

element of air

is my friend here

sun

half sunk

adds a shimmer

to a yellow building

opposite the sleeping cat

I anticipate sunset

within an hour

or so

am ready

for the fall

of sound

denseness of echo

that follows twilight

the fringe of nature

comforts me

as memories

circulate

some forms of sadness

are to be carried until death

I am learning to accept that

perhaps not yet in italics

nevertheless

an unavoidable collision

with grief

is a wise teacher
