one leaf | A J Wilson

one leaf, the last of his kind
lightly dances the last dance
on a bare branch
looking up at the sky
until autumn rains fall
when he utters, his last goodbye.

Visions Alter | A J Wilson

nature’s imagination

is mightier than words

I follow in its wake

and time drifts like ash

I feel my ribs crack,

split and spin open

saltwater bites into flesh

until all is healed,

buoyant as the sky

my body floats away

my eyes drink in all beauty

sinking into the depth of my veins

and so the vision transforms

as the sea grows old

Stitch Your Words | A J Wilson

grasp your needle and cotton

and pierce it with the thread

hold this silence in your mouth

and stitch tightly your words

like a handwoven linen

then loosely weave them into the sky

with a thin wash of colour.

Flutter | A J Wilson

a rainy balloon drifted into sight

I looked out from this cloudy train

all my wings taken flight

left over sorrow and pain

transient, a mere passer-by

my reflection, a rusty butterfly.
