after the rain
on the grass –
rainbow droplets
breathing deeply
the smell of wildflowers
as they begin to wither
white valley clouds
meet in a kiss
with blatant blue sky

coming to sea cliffs
the off-shore breeze raises
a flower fragrance
curving with the land
a rainbow of clouds
moves out to sea

in the space
appears frivolous
a rainbow of hope
between sky and sea
in a mist of floating clouds
white blossoms
a hint of color(s)
float through skies above –
a painter’s palette

gathering flowers
unexpected guests
come to dinner

gathering flowers
sparkling jewels of the night
drenched with fresh dewdrops
unexpected guests
recount early memories –
days of yesteryear
come to dinner
listen to them –
the nightingales sing

we shall not lie side by side
I shall sit here by myself

how much I mourn her
that lithe and sensuous frame –
distributed in dust
beyond this physical world
transformed into cosmic dust

late summer
alone on the beach
with only tracks
Jane Reichhold
petrified bones and footprints
remnants of extinct peoples
at sea and ashore
something from yesterday
ancestral relics
bow to the inevitable
vacancy created by death

cricket silence
between scraping sounds
autumn begins
