2021.03.31: fleeting

fading so quickly
beauty is here then is gone
those who blink miss out

some may call it illusion
less time doesn’t mean less real

2021.03.30: tumbleweeds

old farmhouse bulldozed
homesteads become tract housing
the land lies unloved

rootless people blow away
scattered where the winds take them

2021.03.29: chorus

songbirds before dawn
full moon after equinox
two part harmony

2021.03.28: quid pro quo

small acts of goodness
for the friend who gave his life
doesn’t seem enough

2021.03.27: abiding

warm days but cold nights
suddenly it’s green again
yet the robins wait
