Dusky pink moonlight
Cherry blossom arabesque
Dreaming tomorrows
Ryan Stone

too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words…
Dusky pink moonlight
Cherry blossom arabesque
Dreaming tomorrows
Ryan Stone

From this bridge of sighs
They watch the chasm sunder
Here, where dreaming ends
Ryan Stone

Above the still lake
A smoke and pepper patchwork
Birds entering clouds
Ryan Stone

spring clothesline—
purple penguins dancing
on a breeze
Ryan Stone

funeral flowers
wilting in quiet corners…
so hard to let go
Ryan Stone

fireworks explode
in an ink-black sky
—my name on your lips
Ryan Stone

storm understory
broken nest glitter,
lone magpie
Ryan Stone

into the spring dawn
baby kookaburras launch
fresh twitter accounts
Ryan Stone

determined thief—
forest fire steals all
but their last embrace
Ryan Stone

ice on her duck pond
gently melts into water
changing…not leaving
Ryan Stone
