Begin Again, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, writing

I’ve started so many poems
Some still lost inside my head
Of silver birds and broken hearts
And snoring in my bed

At times it’s hard to get the words
To come alive on paper
They disappear much too fast
It all becomes a vapor

So I go back and start again
And try with all my might
To make some sense
Of what it is
That I’m about to write

Cool mountain breezes
caress the morning dew
that glistens on the grass
gently blowing in the wind

I am greeted by the kiss
of sunlight sweeping
across my face, of warmth
taking hold of my entirety

The quiet that embraces
the land surrounding me
broken only by the sound
of my own breath

I saw you graze the night sky
A simple twinkle that burned so brightly
I could not look away
I followed
As you soared across the Heavens
And I knew
You were keeping watch over me

Red Headed Wonder

Red headed wonder
Playfully bobbing against
The bark of the old Hickory
Determined to find
Tonight’s gourmet meal
His beak digs deeper
Into the hollows of the wood
Until he is victorious
And dinner is served
