into the spring dawn
baby kookaburras launch
fresh twitter accounts
Ryan Stone
Awaken
Ash
determined thief—
forest fire steals all
but their last embrace
Ryan Stone
On her death
ice on her duck pond
gently melts into water
changing…not leaving
Ryan Stone
Fugue
strangers greet her
with expectant eyes
at the nursing home
Ryan Stone
Nectar
the warm buzz
of making honey
—summer glow
Ryan Stone
Amaranthine
at the hot springs
below the line of thought
I find you, old friend
Ryan Stone
Circa Diem
confused cicadas
singing late night lovesongs
—bright summer moon
Ryan Stone
Wabi-Sabi
unnoticed
in cracked city pavement—
daisies
Ryan Stone
Smoke
twilit valley
clouds blow into ghosts
ephemeral life
Ryan Stone
Fall
amber leaves
tumbling down the path—
empty nest
Ryan Stone
days of stone
