Cherry Blossoms 

Booming, celebrating

Generating new life

Native to nature

Innate to humankind

Inner inhibitions

Motivating, reborn

Horizons painted

Warm winds softening

Winter's hold, melting

Frigid thoughts

Embracing westerly

Winds kiss.

...

Echoing Winds

Enter in another
Day holding no
Promise, offering
Little insight

Morning clouds
Move in earnest
Without concern
His breath unsure

Drifting in time,
Chinook winds
Arching, giving way
To cumulus cloud

Starving his sunlight
A dubious wandering soul
Easily distracted, misled
An impetuous dreamer

Unable to separate
Truth from reality.

Edwin James

...

Lost

Tattered in faded blue

Waves running through

Her mind, drifting

Weaving, jousting

Memories fleeing without

Promise, only doubt
Remains, twisted
In a world pitted

Against her heart
Unwilling to restart
Her will drifting
Hate always looming

Mocking her androgynous
Ways, her luminous
Fading declared sinner
Her soul left in cinders.

Edwin James
