apogee

long-time coming

worn-out sandals

that walk the straw

beside the cold

and winter storms


summer dynamos

that


race

toward

the peak

of faith that’s floored


at autumn’s end

the time we spent

around a bend


when spring

and earthly blossoms bring

 the color from dirty slings


yielding

our tidal fears


and savoring the ripened fields

that tread the line of dark and light
