Vivid Dream
Moveable waves
And stories freed
Of sea to dream
Cloud on the wind
Sewing the seamTo riding the tide
Closer to shore
Holding a hand
Only grasping
At the SandTo saving visions
Stored safely in
The ocean bed
As shells float by
Easily fledBrushes of breeze
Encircle the feeling
That swirl and sound
Never pushing
It to groundLife in the wind
In the Spray
Of the sea
Soaring high
Over meFor WPC: Vivid

Morning Dew
A majesty of fairies
Fashioned crystal glass
At the tips of each
Fine blade of grassAt the darkest decline
Darning gems so bright
Then directing prisms
To the morning lightThey collected their thimbles
And trimmed the thread
But left before dawn
Quietly they fled -
Night Garden
Upon the moonlit grass
My toes do tread
Turf and earth imprinting
On a mossy bedA tired floret stoops
A sleepy head
Resting…sequestered…
Nothing to be saidA chill blows from the east
Then ceases… to ground
Still…serenity
Folds in…to surroundIs this dreaming … revealing?
Looking to the skies
Into night’s darkness
With a canopy of eyesCopyright © 2015 Janice Turner Salmon
