With The Winds

Winds, howled
Winds, whisted
Winds, rustled
Winds, hummed

Winds, silenced

Re-leaf (Tea Relief)

Those hands picked the three leaves
From the spot where she lives
Her world was changed and uncluttered
With just one sip of tea, life’s all that matters.

Present

as moments present, flutter their wings
shiver they not from icy past shadows
cringe not ever from fires tall, to come
