The Moon’s Ghost

Looking towards the sky
The moon’s ghost emerging high
In this night I sigh

Walking along the shore

Walking in the night
Enjoying this graceful scene
Of the moon’s ascent

One of my favorite places is the waterfront in Edmonds, about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the shore. Even tonight in the cold, though there were moments of striking clarity.

A Blessed Day Haiku

This day was quite good
Filled with blessings of friendship
Within winter’s chill

I hope you’ve found goodness in your life today.

Laying in bed, reading

Seattle’s first significant snow event this winter has disrupted our lives solidly. I miss the days i could walk to work, even in the snow. The roads have been quite treacherous. So, I’ve avoided them. Today, though, I really need to make my way into the office. It’ll be fun ,I’m sure. 

This Charming Old House

I love this old house
The echoes of elegance
Rang into the night

This house had been part of my life for years. Recently, it’s owners have worked hard to recapture its glory. They’ve done a nice job, in my opinion.

And Now It Is Night

and now it is night
the darkness embraces me
cool tranquility

Experimenting with Autodesk’s #Sketc. Fun thing to far, but I need to go to sleep now.

Dignity and grace?

As I view this cool, grey morn

I hear echo’s rage
