• Autumn Family LIght Love Morning Sunrise

  At the End of That
  Long, Softly Lit Hallway, A
  Tall Westward Window

  Dawn, Painted Across
  The Skies and Trees and Fields
  In Blues and Coral

  Our Worlds, Separate
  Yet Together, Start Again
  And I Breathe Deeply

  Twenty Five Years and
  Two O’clock have Come and Gone
  Like Dreams on Waking

  Sifting Through the Mind
  Slowly, All Effervescent
  And Insubstantial

  Saved by the Sure Weight
  Of Memory, Casting Its Light
  Into the Future

  Orange Sun Rising
  Through a Floating Summer Haze

  All I Care to Hear

  Allen Miller 1918-2015

  An Old Photograph,
  Tattered Edges, Creased and Scratched
  Faded and Fuzzy

  But She’s Turned Towards You
  Smiling, And Your Joy Shines Through
  All the Time That’s Passed

  Lighting Memories
  That Float and Glow Like Fireflies
  In the Late Evening

  Cloudy and Colder
  The Day Settles in Like a

  But Night Falls, Clouds Clear,
  Full Moon Lights the Lake. A Passing
  Fox Pauses to Watch

  Light Ebbs and Flows
  Gently Beneath Skies So Blue
  They Touch Your Soul

  Rising with the Heat, Whispers
  Calm and Solitude

  
  In Red Rock Canyons
  On the High Desert, Time Finds
  It’s Natural Rhythm

  Paints That Black Night Sky Like the

  The Short Order Cook,
  On Break, Sits by a Window,
  Stares, Rubbing His Jaw

  Morning Sunlight Falls
  In A Single Bright Shaft and

  A Small Sacrament
  As If This Light Had Escaped
  From Some Cathedral
