a new day dawns to encircling thoughts meant to enrich

the journey planting sustenance to nourish our will

exit sign    she enters regardless of  weight of words

what guards the door     an exit sign 

she enters regardless of   snares unwelcoming

she enters nonetheless    complies with a bet

 weight of words   to a sporting gal carried  easily to bear

she awakens from a dream   nonetheless unfazed

workaholic

 she pours herself into

every session

regardless of time or space

her goals defining fortune

the elements

bowing to her beauty

 modern day sylph

echoing the passions of

 long ago goddesses

she melts the hearts of

each camera clicking male

she evaporates

the mind of each designer

under a natural sun

breakfast at church -

smoked-herring sandwiches 

wrapped with gusto

the vacant lot

a few streets  up; a vagrant

still fast asleep

branches of willows 

bow to a grave of the dead -

whose ghosts haunt on site

a shiver

on a rainy moonlight

tingles his spine

 a sloe-eyed

 new gardener cuts the stem

of a laurel

slough of weary tales 

tall tales dreary tales told -

altered through the years

a garland of smiles

from passing young women

can fetch his gaze

on a May morning

 harness the hummingbird's dance

 to this faithful sheep
