Monday's Poem: Shadow Words

Shadow Words

When day is done and dark arrives 

to spread through all your light,

it's only me surrounding you

to hold you in the night.

I'll always be your close-by friend;

I'll always stay with you.

I'll be in back or by your side

or right in front of you.

And when you wonder who you are

and feel all sad inside,

remember I am just like you,

created by the light.

Monday's Poem: Two Trees

Two Trees

For Elwood

Outside my window

two trees touch,

like holding hands.

When wind is still

and the trees are still,

they don't even whisper

a single, soft word

to each other.

When the wind blows

and combs their words

through my hair,

I laugh at their jokes.
