"jeremiah ray poetry"

tidal waters
rock
tidal waters
no rock

the nights are cool
and soon
more blankets on the bed

you and i
i have learned
this life
and dreams

autumn rain ,you are taking the flower petals.
autumn rain, you are still gentle.
autumn rain, flower petals give themselves to you.

this is autumn

holding on

will you leave

soon

holding breath
holding
breath
stillness

birds
call out early
night
of wakefulness
and humidity

cool evening
sunset burns sky
soon dark
but not yet

let it go
says the mind
has it taught me
i coudn’t learn
says the heart

take this
bring this
what is this
