~Ignite~


It's a beach day

with seagulls

shashaying toward

waters golden


Clouds are lucid

clotted cream

in the

morning dew

and I 

don't quite know

how to feel

Yearning

a stranger

thought familiar

turned out

to be 

just a cloud

chiming laughter

burns the past


Lingering longer

with weeping sunsets

if you had seen it,

you would understand

like aging,

seems to stay too long


the water

plays well

discovering secrets

with the growing shadows


time seems

too close for comfort

breath circles

light and breaks

like a beach shell

to ignite 

a new dream
