Poem from my poetry book She’ll Find the Sky
Warmth emanates from
the singular chimney
Housed within the heart
Of a drafty mansion
It’s where the deer go
To lie upon rickety floorboard
As sparrows acquaint themselves
With the abandoned rocking chair
Preening their worries away
Serenity melded with serendipity
The course of the universe
Ivy stretching over bricks
Decomposition of matter
And the soul
I gathered people like dewdrops
Collect upon a lonely leaf
They were made in the clouds
Of pollution and acid rains
I beckoned and waved—
The wind forced my hand
Yet upon my lonely branch
Ne’er a hopeful bird did land
Only dewdrops grew
Little parasitical things
They burned and ate
And I turned yellow with grief
Pocked with holes
In sickly sheen
Even in shadow
does nature thrive
a silent spectre
full of bristling sighs
with a glimmer
the light then shows
the blooming tree preserved
alive in its shadow
