Unspoken pain

Unspoken pain
Furls the brow
Like tectonic plates
Left and right brain
Colliding

Tears and words
Flooding rain
Eroding sharp precipice
Smoothing softening
Cascading

Deep richness
Exposed openly
Filtering through
Luscious soil
Creating

Love like

A blossom tree
Budding growing
Willing knowing
Instinctively
When warmth
Comes upon
The breeze
Still sudden
Frosts sleet
Winds beat
Against tender
Shoots and leaves
Making parade
Confetti admire
For a day
Blown away
Too few fruit
For feathered
Friends greet
Instead reside
In cool shade
Till we meet
And bloom again
At winter's end
Cherry blossom
