Claudia Krizay Poems

I am a shadow;
I dance in rhythm with the changing of the seasons.
As the rain falls, I weep.
I become sky lightening as a storm approaches.
...

I remember you reading me about
Places beyond the mountains,
Above the trees and behind rainbows-
You told me that skies turned gray here sometimes
...

Once many walked behind me on
The same path while
Nobody has ever walked before me-
Every time I look behind
...

I never believed that
I would see the rain fall again
At this moment in time-
I upheld the moon in my hands
...

Muted pastels of dusty rose,
Chalk white and hues of lead contrast delicately with a sky of cobalt blue.

Slate- gray flagstone slabs form a pathway leading
...

Silence somehow has entered this room where
This morning laughter had filled, I hardly know what to say but
I can hear my own tears screaming aloud- even though
I cannot see them falling- Red, blue, green and gold- Just about any color I can
...

The sun opens its eyes
Upon the distant horizon
Nature plays its peace harp as
I look into the dawning-
...

Safety in numbers?
I see this world in a different light
Safety in solitude-
In my home,
...

Reaching upward as I never believed
I could do, not within this moment-
Searching for life’s meaning, heaven sent and
Written across the stone of some unfamiliar despondent
...

Life is never a flowering tree and a hurricane snatched some brutality away-
In one sense of the word freedom would rule and
In another, I can only see the rain. I foresee no future-
Only dandelions grow all summer long and
...
