“Hold”
Tides ebb, the wheel turns,
sand grains wash out and return.
Hold fast the taut line.

Tides ebb, the wheel turns,
sand grains wash out and return.
Hold fast the taut line.
Steve D
Flakes of gilded foil
crust undulating black sheets,
yellow moonlit waves.
Steve D
Flicker rekindled,
searching for a direction.
Candle in the dark.
Steve D
Over-exertion,
stretched too much, or not enough,
forced, much needed rest.
Steve D
Harsh edges mellowed,
absorbed, rounded in wood grain,
with lingering burn.
Steve D
A beacon is lit,
or a silent gesture made,
a hand reaching out.
Steve D
Seasonal to-do’s,
ever-changing home-making,
improve step-by-step.
Steve D
Dive to the bottom,
uncover secret darkness,
come up for a breath.
Unofficial greetings,
in impromptu playground games,
with hopes for new friends.
Steve D
Newness injection,
fresh ideas and faces,
for stimulation.
