Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
through today’s rain
spring and summer soon will fuse
through falling blossoms
I shot this one near my house. The shape and structure of this tree are just lovely, and the ground covered with fallen blossoms seemed a perfect metaphor while spring is supplanted by summer.
against the darkness
memories of trees echoing
forgotten forests
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.
frost upon the grass
breadcrumbs for the Steller’s Jays
dawn’s tranquility

Beginnings
Filled with potential
Sunny morning dreams

the passage of time
sun and rain changing so much
yet beauty remains
I found this door on a recent trip to Port Townsend, WA. The marvelous character of this worn door spoke to me. All things age. Where do we find our grace?
This photo called to me for a haiku, and I was delighted to oblige.
the sun slips below
warm blazing orange blankets
when will the stars dance?
joyful floral scents
moments of urban beauty soon,
war’s horrors rise
I wrote this haiku after seeing the post below. Such a lovely photo coming a breath before the horror of World War I.
the soul of a tree
life with bark skin forgotten
ghostly echoing
embraced by the night
walking, the air freeing me
birds high overhead
