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

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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

(It's the first day of spring!)

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
