Tick-Tock Tears

precious possibilities
drip away
with the tick of time
like a leaky faucet
ignored for the bother of it

puddles of sorrow
pool the losses
as light is sought
in want for a rainbow
of
priceless promises

Winter Solstice

Moon’s hanging
belly down tonight
it casts a glow
that barely burns
through the clouds

still~
we cannot miss its presence
heavier in its light
suspended from absence
hanging on to nothing
save darkness,
mystery,
intrigue

©December 30, 2004

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
