to think of you is to treasure an absent memory....

you set my soul alight....

their eyes were watching God.....

dawn...

a gold mist settles
over a sunless sea
just before the freshest dawn
there is a shining peace
in the miniature landscape
of the beach

holy sunlight
brings the sacred morning
blotting out the spotted shadows
with its luscious light
that is filled with life

a black sunset brings
the moon
like a bannered crescent
shining upon
the blossomed greenery
like an enchanted fire

familiar roads previously traveled....
