—-<§>—-
at the zero hour
everything tilts quiet
I feel the world
loosen its grip
my breath steadies
my thoughts drift
I turn from the wreckage of my day
—to start over
sleep has found me—
it’s the small mercy
my bones still believe in

may this nectar rare
sweeten all our days
may its heady warmth
linger long and lush
lighten life’s burdens
and ever lift our spirits
here’s to us!

Just finished writing over 70 poems, plus some essays, here in April for National Poetry Month 2010. I’m taking a hiatus for a bit from steady writing. I’m re-opening Writer’s Island tomorrow, Saturday May 1st, to offer weekly prompts to other poets/writers. I am also re-focusing on a long-unfolding project targeted at future publication. I’ll still write some poetry, bit very casually for a while. 😉
Thank you to all my beloved family, friends, fellow poets & writers, and cybermates for your wonderful surprises and well wishes — they are genuinely appreciated!! 😉
After an intense period of writing during April, National Poetry Month 2009, I’ve taken a hiatus – which included the celebration of my 20th year of marriage to my wonderful wife, Kathleen. This period was also touched by deep sadness. I will return sometime in June to begin posting some of my new writing. Thank you for visiting today, and please return. I hope you are able to find something for yourself here at Image & Verse.
