The waves embraces
the descending moon
a fish dangles in the line

The day as it happens
My day starts late with a walk to the river
Counting the black birds on the tree
They come down to feed on feeders
Thrown by a woman on the sidewalk.
Our activity continues to the downtown
Where children and adults parade their lanterns,
Light attires, jellyfish lighted parasols, costumes.
Their route passes along where lgihted arts
Are projected on buildings complete with music and narrations.
We end the evening under the huge moon
As if it falls down from the sky
Which is what one child asks her mother about.
A Leaf of Excitement
The rain started last night and continued today
I didn’t walk to the river this morning
Instead I went to the Wellness Center for a workout.
This afternoon I was in the Study Center
In the library helping students with their homework.
Afterwards I attended my Rotary Club meeting.
This evening I started reading Conversation With Friends,
A novel by Sally Rooney.
The little things that make life interesting.
We can measure the day by how long it rained
HOr by how happy is the student after
She understood what she was studying for days.
A green leaf started sprouting from a seed
Aboard the lunar lander at the surface of the moon.
That’s a living plant listening to Moonlight Sonata.
Mind at play
The night exults flow of ideas
Moon celebrates the darkness
Her imagination roams the sky
The Shack on the Hill
The shack, red and old
alone on the hill.
The sheep grazing below.
That’s where they meet
at sunset.
The colors play on her face
Her hands play on his hair.
When darkness reaches its fullness
Only touches reveal each other’s presence.
When the moon rises high
they descend the steps.
Their goodbye is a promise
to meet again
on the next full moon.
