A Moment Outdoors

a moment outdoors
springtime’s flowers  greeting me
with social distance

Spring Moves Forward

spring moving forward
flowers carefree in the sun
bees ignore my gaze

Sunset through the Olympics

sunlight descending

engulfed in the water’s depths

walking to the south

Ah, Cherry Blossoms!

sunlight’s downward path

as I wander past the fears

ah, cherry blossoms!

sunlight to the east

springtime deceiving our clocks

the air, cold and dry

Another step closer to spring.

Met a really cool guy today. A former Navy nuclear power program sailor, just like me. Though he is quite a bit younger. 

Swapped stories of our respective experiences, which I enjoyed. Yet I often worry in those moments that I’ll become like the subject of Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”, a relic, trapped in the past. Grave fate, for me, at least.
