Spring Moves Forward

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

Sunset through the Olympics

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!

Tonight’s Haiku: Eating Sunlight

springtime’s motion glancing upward into the sky eating sunlight

A Daylight Savings Time Haiku

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.

A Worn RV

Weathered and worn RV in my local shopping center parking lot

so many miles
weathered and worn by life
a cold biting wind
