Communion Cinquains

by Sondra Ball

Grief

I hear
your voice inside
my heart. Yet my ear still
misses the flow and music of
your words.

For a Lover

A pleasure:
seeking the words
to describe the wonder
of those moments when we have joined
as one.

The Long Trail

Slowly,
eyes cast downward,
they march along the trail,
carrying babies and old ones.
Tears fall.

Stalking

Stalking
through narrow aisles,
quiet as untold stories,
my eyes searching the grey shelves for
the book.

Country Night

Coming
home from the fields,
he stands for a moment
reflecting on the light in his
window.
