Fear

Fear

I'm scared of the dark
even when the moon is full.

I've seen a fox dart
across the road, eyes luminous,

scared of me.  How I wish
we could dash together,

moonlit in the field,
fear unknown.

Two Sisters

Two Sisters

Daisies woven into diadems
and kissed by the golden sun,
two sisters transform into royalty;
(far from Mother's chores)

where a lake becomes mystical
and strings strummed
create vibrato swirls
upon a sapphire surface.

A toe submerges, a head droops,
this veiled oasis,
a place where wishes are born
and dreamers

change the world.
