Spring’s Passage

SPRING’S PASSAGE

She Marched in
like a lion, out
like a lamb…
her April
showers now bring May flowers.
Summer’s closing in.

Autumn

AUTUMN

All summer
until equinox ~
toes in sand
under sun.
Months pass…October into
November. Autumn.

Last Dance of Summer

crisp night air gives way
to days filled with warm sunshine ~
leaves dance at my feet

Forever Singed

 FOREVER SINGED

The last
summer in my
teens, I learned that playing
with fire is the fastest way to
get burned.

Alone In A Crowd

ALONE IN A CROWD

The family “summer vacations” are planned. Money laid away. And children are counting the days until they hit their favorite vacation spots. I will see some go to the beach to play in sand and surf; others, to the Happiest Place on earth. Photos will be taken…many of which I will offer to take so dad or mom is not left out. Souvenirs purchased. Memories will be made, and each family will go their own way at the end of the day. Together. And I will return to my home. Alone.

sightseeing
is sometimes obstructed
by my own views
