Abridged

time crosses slowly
December’s snowy bridge
sojourn to the far side of remembering

Remembered

forget me not
the gentlest reminder of
the enormity of tiny pleasures

Remembrance

solid as stones
the memories
carried

Care

stone memories
held in place
by grace

Gleaming

traverse the inevitable darkness
in honor of the gleaming
of the morning sun

Twilight

the sun sets
on monoliths
eternal rest is fenced

Recollection

A memory floated by
on the afternoon’s breeze –
of sweet long ago days
and basking in your spirit.
