31 March 2014

A sunny day and
Runners in their neon tights--
A beautiful sight.

30 March 2014

Sunshine on the pond,
And a goose reflected there.
A  comforting sight.

29 March 2014

Feeling old today,
Even older than most days,
Older and worn out.

27 March 2014

Is it still winter?
There's a muddy brown river,
And a cold grey sky.

Another long day.
Tomorrow, early-to-rise.
And too little sleep.

25 March 2014

Spring is here at last...
And yet the trees remain bare...
Snow is still falling.

25 March 2014
(Yes, it snowed--not much--today)

Something I just read:
"Circumstances...make actions"--
An ethics lesson?

23 March 2014

Two geese patrolling
Around the pond, announcing
Themselves by honking.

Too many late nights,
Too many early mornings.
I'm too tired to work.

Sitting in the sun,
Watching the ducks on the pond,
The flowers blooming.

20 March 2014

Two geese strutting through
Our yard, heading for the pond
And the cool water.

20 March 2014
(It's the first day of spring!)

17 March 2014

A dead-white full moon,
As cold as the night, rising
In the eastern sky.

16 March 2014 (B)

It's nine years today.
A private ceremony
We still celebrate.

16 March 2014

Two sleepless nights now.
And I'm not ready for bed,
But too tired to move.

13 March 2014

The sun is shining
On me and the dog.  We're fat,
Warm, and quite content.

11 March 2014

Felt like spring today,
And the dog loved the sunshine.
But tomorrow--snow.

My knees ache tonight.
Tomorrow, my shoulders' turn.
Then, maybe my hip.

Getting old is not for wimps.)

8 March 2014

We did not leave home,
Staying inside as rain fell,
Safe, warm, and content.

7 March 2014

A late winter thaw.
Our walk's icy and submerged--
Treacherous two ways.

"Make of yourself, light."
So said Buddha, nearing death.
But I don't know how.

5 March 2014

Lying on its back,
A crescent moon seems asleep,
At peace with its world.

A room with glass walls.
I sit inside, in the light,
Looking at the night.

Late night on dark streets,
The moon shines on the canal,
An unearthly light.

Early afternoon,
The dog lying in the sun,
As if it's summer.
