here for the long haul
the grey daylight settles in;
eastern standard time

bassline

such a long long time
to be gone, and a short time
to be there – thanks Phil

fall

every falling leaf
sings to me as it floats by:
“Be mindful of death”

leaves

the autumn leaves lie damp,
kissed by the soft morning rain –
careful not to slip!

equinox

grey autumnal days:
a freight train whistle whispers
“Keep moving! Move! Move!”

acorns

ten thousand acorns:
which is the oak tree? and which
mere food for the squirrels?

veteran

he sits with his dog –
soft lake winds swirl memories
of his glory days

songs

the harmony of
wind and waves – why does my old heart
still sing your songs?

late spring

Sunlight infiltrates
the blinds. A mourning dove coos.
Life! – for one day more

waking up

deeply dreamt dreams
someday one will just
continue on…
