When I have run dry
And words litter the page
Like broken wings of dragonfly
Useless to their intent
  Yet still bright enough to reflect
In part the one moment
They held air beneath them
As they skimmed with dart
Across some meaning
Not yet understood
    Except as syllables shattered
On some small intent

Will I be so wise
As to know the parts can not be glued
To some background of colored view
And presented as a gift?

I will wait this day
    Along the rocky shore
As she, who wore azure summer
Now dons grey
leaving behind the blue silk ripples
to lay quietly under the moon
naked eyes forcing themselves to widen
and ears to hear
the dried leather
and brittle boned steps
in ghosts of summer green

I watch her there
  and remember her skin was warm
when the sun filled sky
held clouds that passed without tears
and know this season
she has doffed pearls
          for jewelry of hair
braided tightly with the mourn

Her bed grows cold

And my own words
                empty

Yet another poem
for my library...

Your passion for nature
always leaves her singing,
even if melancholy...

I love the images woven and the caress of these words - the feel of it -

I like the passing of the seasons, the animals and fish finding the winter's haven.

I like your words

the images here are so delicate yet stark to a point...
woven like dream, in black and white...tinged with colour
