A gold harvest moon
Swells over night’s shadowed cliffs
Cohen is singing
Ryan Stone

too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words…
A gold harvest moon
Swells over night’s shadowed cliffs
Cohen is singing
Ryan Stone

I saw you standing
On the edge of forever
Windmills in your hair
Ryan Stone

In treehouse shadows
Shyly she stepped from her clothes
And I from my youth
Ryan Stone

Like a moth to flame
Sashaying between moments
Yearning to belong
Ryan Stone

Windswept mountain home
Nestled deep in the aspens
Where Hummingbirds fly
Ryan Stone

Hunting rock pool shells
At sunrise, the tide tugging
My child’s toes too soon
Ryan Stone

Tumbling russet leaf
How brief the rush of freedom
Between bough and earth
Ryan Stone

Soft snores beside me
A wheaten curl of warm sleep
Outside the wind howls
Ryan Stone

Her silver net cast
She scurries back under eave
Lunchtime drawing near
Ryan Stone

By a mountain lake
Naked limbs dance with the wind
Winter stole her shawl
Ryan Stone
