from all this bright world
she chooses my fingertip,
funny ladybird

Possibilities
Spring Break
jasmine
frolicking on a breeze
– first kiss
Ryan Stone
Windward
fuchsia sunset
so far from the city
of her birth
Ryan Stone
Seeker
beyond the gate
where sea meets sky
—tomorrow
Ryan Stone
Hope
after the storm
while staring at puddles—
a rainbow
Ryan Stone
Aurora
far horizon,
a golden vessel
sailing the dawn
Ryan Stone
Alight
fireworks explode
in an ink-black sky
—my name on your lips
Ryan Stone
Vigil
A shift in focus—
This whole, bright world reflected
In her dark window
Ryan Stone
Mother & Son
He faces the world
Armed with a rose and a shield
His mother’s blessing

For C&J
