sadness and sunsets

from Texas she fled
off to New Mexico hills . . .
sadness and sunsets

too large

dazzling sunset clouds
paint reality too large . . .
my eyes are dreaming

each horizon

sunrise and sunset . . .
a white sun golden cloudscape
filled each horizon

surrendered sunset

surrendered sunset …
twilight winds sweep fading light
the dark to shimmer

the eyes close

planes and jets above
as the evening sun sinks low …
slowly the eyes close

sunset willow

sunset willow tree …
leaves bright with orange sunlight
fade into starlight

serene white

silent overcast
but the western sun slips free …
serene white sunset

biding its moon-time

the sunset dazzles
still, the gibbous moon does shine …
biding its moon-time

velvet spring sunset

a hazy white sun
sinks into soft gray cloudbank …
velvet spring sunset

winds swept – haiku

strong winds swept the clouds
now the yellow sun will set …
blue, orange and black
