Crocus
| I wonder shall I fly? -brief seconds over the waters and then plunge a swirling white angel into the silent depths  | 
      
| Or shall I lie awake? -hours under the grieving skies in crimson snow until the earth takes me back one snowflake at a time.  | 
        
| 
             A single white crocus in the spring.  | 
        
No One
I am no one.
  You passed me
  a faceless face in the crowd.
  If you saw me
  you wouldn't know me.
  I am no one.
I am no one.
  I am everyone
  you've ever met but couldn't recall
  my name.
  I'm the space at the end of the hall
  a shadow on your wall
  I am no one.
When death comes for me
  no one will know.
Untitled #1
While I slept
  within the boundaries of a dream
  you flew to me on whispering wings
  almost silent
  and if I could fly
  the skies within the borders of my mind
  I would have flown to you
  I would have joined with you
  in mid air
  and fallen together
  such is the dalliance of eagles
  or of owls
