            a limp hand I hold

as the wind takes your last breath

            the candle flickers

Indian summer. . . 
a gathering of leaves dance 
quietly to death

Now my tendrilled soul,
Has found its pergola-- Christ--
To wind its way up....

Fall

golden butterflies
wildly whirl in wanton wind -
leaves perform death dance

succumbing to death

his eyes shine as he whispers . . . 

I am not afraid

               Christmas sparkling lights
               Weak brightness through tearful eyes
               Unexpected death

Her journey begins.
Moving through soft veils and mists,
Pilgrimage homeward.

Spin off Happy Days

lodgepoles pines fall 
dead, beetle attack, new life
emerges -- aspens

darker than raindrops
mushroom cloud blooming purple....
I can see my bones

brown gives way to green
winter surrenders to spring
death succumbs to life

                                           Pampas Grass' tassles
                                       Shooting upward fresh new
                                           Beauty filled short life

Hear the subtle cries
Slow death invades their terrain
Black lake mirrors event

the jaguar's tear
slides off his single whisker
clouds do sigh

three offspring
dragged into the river's teeth
one remains

they both stretch
the moment of sorrow lost
life leaps on

Cracking lifeless limbs.
Casting creepy dark shadows.
Illumined by moon

War…
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

War is good for greed.
Hatred!  Repugnance.  And death…
It reinstates need.

Sleeping in sorrow
If I don't wake tomorrow
Then all will be well.

Death knocks on the door
He is not cloaked with a sickle 
He only wants a slice 

Sadness of the heart
when our loved ones do depart
to the promise land

Silver full moon above
Touching snow covered mountains
As you slowly set

thunderclouds
shrouding the grave 
my falling tears

Flowers and green leaves
Die in hundreds every day
Shortage of coffins

Black clouds : Blood red rain
Thunder roars in agony
 A Broken Heart : Dies

Bright autumn sunlight
Ironing out morning chill
Dad lay still and cold

Raven Blue twilight,

Existence epitomized,

Formless shadows lurk.


8~June~2017

Blackness comes tonight.
          No matter how far you run,
               Darkness will follow.

life with no meaning
despair that cannot repair
with death, that last breath

sadly the heart beats
world oblivious to pain
death patiently waits

Blazing red sunset
Touching earth, touching sky; me
Sets soon warmth gone night

dark cemetaries
someones end cast into stone
death left in the ground

   life after death

   chrysanthemums

   atop the grave

 *Chrysanthemums symbolize optimism

Bright and intense hues
Breaching through Earths fertile womb
Strewn upon the tombs

Society's dead
Digression came with costs
We are digging graves

Body aches and pains.
Limbs unwilling to function.
My name is old age.
