Between Earth and Sky: Five Short Poems

A Moment in Time A plane rumbles aboveThe dog barks at the sky aboveThe clock ticks, tick-tok The Magical Mundane Twinkling lights surroundDelighting and entrancing.Some see only bugs. Playing on Earth A clockwork of planets to choose,I turn the wheel, tuning time and place.I fall to earth, to play once more. What Lies Beneath? The full moon shines above,Obscured by clouds, like words camouflaged,Meaning hidden but not unknown. Breeze of Venus The evening star glows.A wind without movement blows.Sand shifts on a beach within.
