Fire burns within me
Forming a song I don’t know
But will come to know

5/31/2023 – words fall
Words fall
Like rain
Down a page
Down a street
Some crumple
Some fall apart
Some take root and grow
Yet words fall
All the same
5/30/2023 – a tiny speck
In dappled sunlight, list’ning to the breeze
I sit in wonder at the vibrant life
The chitt’ring birds and tall, triumphant trees
That make a tiny speck of human strife
5/29/2023 – a haiku
On Mondays I wish
For something better to come
In the days ahead
5/27/2023 – for an age
Let’s come back as trees
Strong
Quiet
Regal
Roots intertwined
Branches entangled
Holding to one another
For an age
5/26/2023 – how often
How often do I think of you?
As often as the breezes blow
As often as the tree frogs sing
As often as the new sprouts grow
As often as the birds take wing
5/25/2023 – a haiku
A fast-rising wind
Blows quick across the landscape
And all comes alive
5/24/2023 – that silence
I love no silence more
Than silence with you
5/23/2023 – break the wheel
Above the crashing human sounds
Beyond the grey of block and steel
A different, brighter truth abounds
There where we go if we can break the wheel
5/22/2023 – a haiku
I find it vexing:
Even over a cursed day
Bright is the sunrise
