The night’s grace appears
Kindness in the dark’s motion
Streetlights; a beacon
There’s a grace to the night, to the calmness brought, to hidden delights, joys unbounded. To rest delivered, and the salvation of our dreams.

within the darkness
memories of the daylight
as I seek to rest
This is my first experiment with Adobe Spark. I find Canva a bit more intuitive at first blush. I’ll see where that goes. As I have a Creative Suite subscription, Spark makes significant economic sense.
An evening haiku, August 4, 2020
sunlight climbing down
from the mountains to the west
the bees contented
Flowers On My Walk
walking in sunlight
renewed life fueled by its grace
moving through my space
Living in the suburbs north of Seattle, I see many flowers. You probably have no trouble discerning that from my posts. As a young man, I fled these burbs. Life’s sense of humor, though, kicked in hard. I know life just about a hundred feet from the house I grew up in.
The passing time brings perspective. Now I feel a deep love for this place. My connections deep: friendships, history, I can look at a spot and talk about decades of change, and stability. These suburbs resist change well, but not perfectly.
These flowers which bored me as a boy and young man, well, they now bring me happiness. Years of growth, of death, of change, yet the bees still buzz, flowers still bloom, and summer becomes autumn.

cool air
I rejoice
summer calmed
A Haiku By The Shore
walking near the shore
the scent of salt air delights
flowers worship sun
A Summer’s Night
standing in sunlight
as I’m moving through summer
the breeze bearing life
Summer’s Excesses
summer’s excesses
Helios’ angry glare
I await night’s grace
Tonight’s Haiku: July 26, 2020
glorious sunlight
captured in the greenery
delights of summer
A good day with friends, time in the sunlight, absorbing the life-giving rays. Refreshing my soul during the trials of this pandemic. Life is good.

grey day’s ending
sunlight moves across petals
hummingbirds fighting
