remote mountain lake

sparkles in spring’s noontime sun

for God’s eyes alone

Ghosts

Posted on March 21, 2023 by jai

childhood ghosts

haunt dusty dirt road

footprints gone

laughter gone

the brother and two sisters

grown and gone away

angry storm clouds
hammering rain
smothers frothing sea
drowns
hope of escape

sad ashes scattered

upon placid lake’s waters

soul sinks into peace

‘neath snowy blanket

old home slumbers peacefully

dreams of coming spring

his dead body rests
beneath gloomy cypress trees
that will never tell
of the hatchet in his skull
nor the sin he committed

Image my own watercolor painting.

at height of summer
near a seldom-traveled road
house sprawls lazily
lulled by feasting, buzzing bees…
wildflower banquet
