a change of light
holding everything
I cannot~

quiet, like a candle,
this love.

softly
like the last cherry blossoms
dusk falls on the earth

can you hear it now

my heart
calling out your name

#cherita

the summer has gone

there is frost on the ground

and more grey in my hair every day

yet I smile

for winter years are gentle years

and as the long night nears an end

I have finally reached the shore

where the sun rises again over water

and I walk a beach that calls my name

a girl
glued a white cloud
in the dawn

a certain boy
unglued it from the sunset
and chewed on it

he blew up a balloon
that lifted him off the ground
was blown toward her

the egg
in the sparrow nest
day moon

a full moon
the magnolia
shines bright

bluewhite clouds of spring 
spool out of us in our breath 
momentary joy

be brave
said the wind
to the tree

#LossLit

sweet April..

in your pink
and white dresses
and violet shoes

the breeze
softens for you….

hunger pangs
for gentle things~
a lilac bush buds

waning moon
the old easy chair
where he used to sit
still shows a bit
of his presence

#alive

spring mornings
the trees are alive
with birdsong

When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it is attached to the rest of the world~

John Muir

still unable
to forget his eyes—
quiet lake

#haikuchallenge

it’s the shine inside
that lasts forever

how to change the world
one word
then another

#change #WriteMap

oh world, busy world
beneath the quietude
of stars
