sword

a scythe of moss

scrambled in sprigs

of gray beards

brush

a spine

of ebbing currents

floating past the pebbles

embedded in the stream

wish

a cloud

combined with daffodils

to hold up the sky

grasping the weight

in their stems

Darkness

a fading demise

of a candle

set out by the wind

glowing fainter with touch

Umbrella

a leaf

engulfed in green and dew

reliving

as the dawn turns golden
