Dusk
Evening is coming…
the dawn of nighttime.
Summer Solstice
Tonight is fragrant with
sweet blooming jasmine.
Skyward
Galaxies of bugs
orbiting around
fragrant pine trees.
Shut Eye
Black and white kitten
lying under clothesline in
soft circles of sleep.
Advice
Try to catch the wind.
Count the ripples in the sea.
Become a child again.
