CHANGE OF SEASON
Scarlet graces black
bough and ground below. Silent
snow spills scant and slow.
Once butter-winged finch
faded, flutters. Winter cinched.
Wonder underway.

HER VOTE
She used to share me.
But no more. Now, silently,
She clutches me close.

Lucky, lucky me.
Log cabin nestled in pines.
My name on his lips.

BOXED
When I label you,
I stuff you in a box, then
trim what doesn’t fit.

Rise up, my soul!
Photo by Marie Elena Good
Spirit bestows it –
Worship swells from the Wellspring.
Oh my soul, take part!
Would that this poet
rise up and sing like the king
after God’s own heart!

What I wear in fall:
jeans, boots, sweaters, and mittens
and grins, ear-to-ear.

One flickering flame
in the window glows, bestows
the best kind of warmth.

I prefer my sun
Filtered through dense forest pines;
The air I breathe, chilled.

I prefer water
Falling, or babbling in brooks,
To crashing on shore.

UNMASK
There’s only one way
To know ourselves and others:
Eliminate masks.
