SHORT VERSES AND LINES

Bright Night

The moon
Entertained by the stars
Prays thanks
To the night.

The night
Filled with glee
Invites everyone
To share his canvas.

The stars
Pleased with the night
Each light a candle
The sky is bright.

******

On a withered branch
The pigeon sang…
Spring’s promise.

On a withered branch
The rain dropped…
Autumn’s grief.

******

The sun was feted
Ready to leave
Summer’s gone.

The thunder roared
The clouds march
The rains come.

*****

Extinguished

Light snuffed, laughter exhausted
Mission carried out
Pieces of the puzzle now in place
Nothing more need be said.

*****

My epitaph

She held her head high in life
To death, she bowed.
