2023.02.01: awakened

flowing stream, Jul ‘22

an owl at midnight 
random thoughts floating downstream 
all things in their time

2023.01.12: staccato

pond at dusk, Jan ‘23

short snippets of glee 
bouncing cross still water
children hard at play

2022.10.10: hear here

soft patter of rain 
audible to those awake 
listen and be awed

2022.09.16: faded

cricket, May ‘16

a lone cricket’s chirp 
idyllic childhood summer
seems so distant now

2022.07.04: carry

fading flags, Feb ‘16

a sticky hot night
an open window lets in
the sound of fireworks

falling asleep to a dream 
when justice for all rings true
