Infinity
Dissembling
captive cicada,
rattling terrible music
in the granite hill
Ryan Stone
Night Dancing
Dusky pink moonlight
Cherry blossom arabesque
Dreaming tomorrows
Ryan Stone
Hope
so dark
each winter night,
then dawn
Ryan Stone
Divorce
From this bridge of sighs
They watch the chasm sunder
Here, where dreaming ends
Ryan Stone
Reflection
Above the still lake
A smoke and pepper patchwork
Birds entering clouds
Ryan Stone
Blue Sky
spring clothesline—
purple penguins dancing
on a breeze
Ryan Stone
Numb
In empty spaces
echoes fade to silent grief,
whispers on the wind
Ryan Stone
After
funeral flowers
wilting in quiet corners…
so hard to let go
Ryan Stone
Sangria
the soft promise
of what today may bring
—mulberry sunrise
Ryan Stone
days of stone
