colors… Poem and photo by Toni L.A. Cross

swirling inside me
fantastic colors
vibrant and living
tactile colors
roving in my spirit
bold colors
flowing up and heavenward

a-shambles… by Toni L.A. Cross

a-shambles
the wreckage
of building anew
destruction creates
and creation destroys
and on goes the cycle
with all the joys
of building anew
the wreckage
a-shambles

candlelight… By Toni L.A. Cross

burning
in the darkness

flaming
in the coldest

hoping
despite the heartless

melting
even the hardest

lighting
all in the nearness

loving
even the cruelest

~~me and orion ~~ written by Toni L.A. Cross

harsh icy wind
freezing tear tracks
on my cheeks

the night is so clear
the stars are so bright
I’m dwarfed by the darkness

surrounded with pinpricks
my eyes are searching frantically
for something I know

then there shines orion
the hunter, the fighter
my comrade in arms

i look up, reminded
that i’m not alone
a survivor, a scrapper

a victor someday
i stand stout inside once more
and think of the One

who hung the great galaxies
and never forgets
even tiny me
