week 677 [from week 1] a simple transference of radiance

a simple transference of radiance
at the moment the sun hits the water
before it’s extinguished light together
with reflection a golden circumstance
that we await wine glasses held ready
to salute and in that instant we are
giddy with twilight the ocean calls our
names watching waiting darkness descend we
head indoors light within us laughing at
our good fortune to be here friends away
from all that is uncertain morning may
overwrite this feeling but we know that
for now we are strongly simply happy
and everything is just as it should be

week 360 ~ the orange guitar lies abandonado

the orange guitar lies abandonado
as the last light of evening filters through
like sunset across the water ask who
will play it now in the twilight or go
to the window call back time fleeting
we have never really said we’re sorry
we stopped believing in possibility
in paths not taken instead repeating
the comfortable it’s easy to hide
from what could be from what was always here
but grab a flashlight a candle and peer
in perhaps your patient muse will decide
to reconvene all the choices waiting
for misplaced dreams to finally wake and sing
