You are a calm breeze
sent to soothe the howling winds
raging within me.

Our scared hearts opened
like trembling sparrows, wishing
to fly together.

Sharp tears of grief fall
in obsidian showers
heart slowly made stone.

the willow sings
through its gnarled branches
touched, the river veers

Incandescent mud
of wistful memories, mired
in their afterglow.

rivulets of tears
merging into a vast sea
weeping for the world

Spectral rainbows
my favourite
like me
I never felt
they were real

Under a blackened
Sky, obsidian showers,
Day painted midnight.

Rusted wheelbarrows
getting nature makeovers
new floral hairdos.

twisted gnarled branches
character forged over
years
still reach the sunshine

three bee boxes
among honey-thick clover
fresh honey for me

I have heard
quaking hedgerows
many times

by full moon
bright ritualistic
in fairy rings

I've listened
to their horror
stories

Sad morning mist spreads
Fields of melancholy lambs
Day mourns night's passing.

spring morning drizzle
trembling sparrows shower
light on spider’s web

5/7/5:
the hush of spring dawn--
a small brown garden spider
gently spins the day

short form:
spring dawn--
a small brown garden spider
spins the day

Please add a version if you feel like it.

My heartbeat
is no less fragile
than trembling sparrows
hold it close
with kindness
for I too
am kindness

Terrible squall left
Storm-bent daffodils, fallen
Roof tiles, wet wreckage.

Suddenly silent
Pathway, air of menace from
The lurking hedgerows.

Hollowing willow
Trees, fashioning fairy doors,
Retreats for the fae.
