blackout
Lights
winking out
on the horizon
one at a time
a wave heading towards me
a slow motion
blackout.

blackout, a poem
a warm haunting, a poem
a warm haunting
You create light
love
your presence
a warm haunting
near
even when you are far.

Read another poem of light and shadow:
dancing lights, a poem
dancing lights, a poem
dancing lights
Dancing lights
that move about
and brighten the night;
tiny lanterns
and will-o-the wisps
right in front of me
dashing away
even as I reach for them.

Read another poem of light and shadow:
start in darkness, a poem
start in darkness, a poem
start in darkness
Start in darkness
pitch black
deliberately add
an ounce of light
parameters set;
the broad outlines of your soul
an indirect light
bounced
back and forth;
secrets
only understood
in the wee hours
of the night.

tremble, a poem
The dead
and incorporeal
wink at me
from beyond
and tell me
it’s the passage
that is hard
but not
the arrival.
Yet still,
I tremble.
