Wind, blow –
lift me high, don’t
let go;
fly me
far, above sand
and sea.
Monsoon –
take me, let’s chase
the moon.

musette
Mackenzie
Across
long years I mourn
her loss –
yearn for
her laugh with each
downpour,
descry
her smile in each
short high.

Daughter of the Plains
Ochre
soaked skies, sunrise
woke her –
blue grass
seas lilt behind
stained glass
at dawn.
On morning’s grace
she’s borne.

Ephemeral
Drowning in Blue
Blue With Four Red Bars, by Antoni Tapies (b. Spain), 1966.
Drowning in Blue
Red scars
enclose my heart
in bars-
scatter
dreams, cause love to
shatter
like glass-
’til even hope
must pass.
Ryan Stone
Written for the 20 poem challenge at Ekphrastic, September 2016.
