Dose #2

a little arm pain

with a burst of weariness

I listen to birds

I Love The Sound Of The Wind In The Trees

 

wind blows through these trees
memories awakening
tranquility’s song


I’ve always loved the sound of the wind in the trees. In western Washington, it’s a common sound, speaking to me of home.

A Walk in the Woods

Through The Woods

passing under trees
the path dry from the spring sun
with the bold birdsong

waiting for the bees to come
embracing sunlight

My Response to Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Fresh

suburban wanders
as fresh cut grass’ scent dances
memories awake


Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “fresh”. As it’s spring here in the suburbs of Seattle, and I’m listening to a mower’s drone, this flowed from my keyboard.

Earthbound Blossoms

Earth bound blossoms

petals scattering
memories of fading spring
summer whispers “soon”

Watching the trees shed their blossoms’ petals is both beautiful and sad. Summer comes on the death of spring.

Mists flowing the trees

mists flowing through trees

moisture upon the petals

dreaming of the sun

Kissed by Sunlight

Rhododendron bloom

kissed by the sunlight
dancing upon the spring breeze
the arc of petals

Snoozing Through Winter

Awakening

snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain


Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.
