Since I haven't posted in awhile, I thought I'd put a few short pieces together here. All of them are just little moments or thought.... Enjoy.
A single drop of rain
Upon a Leaf
I don't complain
It's just a drop of rain
Upon a single leaf
Gather up what's left of day,
Tie it up with rose worthy words,
Give it a name if you must.
But I will not smile while
The day dies and night thrives.
Sometimes
The darkness
Is not kind.
Though I do
not wish it to be so
my eyes begin
to close.
The lids
slide together, two tiny slits
which I can
barely see through.
Not a good
thing, fearing sleep
though that’s
not exactly true.
I do not fear
the coming night
I’d rather
see it through
until the
morning sun begins
to fling its thin,
gray shadows
across the
pale white skin
of the
breakfast nook,
alive so very
much alive I look
when daylight
calls.
I won’t wind-up
a Snowy White,
comatose,
waiting for that just right
beauty to
come along
and wake me with
a kiss.
for I am sure of this
one thing:
no one would
miss me
if by chance
I died while napping. —rrw 3-19-12
There are
those tiny things
one can never
see
and yet I
know they’re there
hiding in the
cracks, the seams,
that thin
crevasse
where dry
walls meet.
Waiting there
for me
to finely
call them out,
for me to
say, “You’re here
and always will you be.”
That part of
me
that makes me
whole.
That part of
me
which I may
never know
or ever
really care to find.—rrw 3-25-12
