the moon
illuminating the night
understands silent sorrows

carrots
my wicker chair gnawed
fluffy white hair

a Christmas surprise
for a little girl
her dream puppy

strawberry rows
splashes of RED
all over an innocent face

YMCA
free trees
day before Christmas

backyard dance
soundless words
firefly glows

backyard embrace
the soundless words
of fireflies

silence
heavy in the household . . .
downpour

headstones
engulfed in sorrow
surrounded by love

nimble fingers
pull off the corn skin
teaching the inexperienced

positive vibes
buds reunited
and it feel so good
