rain and fog all day
guiding slow moving traffic
lamps floating in mist
rain and fog all day
guiding slow moving traffic
lamps floating in mist
upside down horizon
a red sun descends
from dark sky
sending rosy waves
reverberating across
a sea of grey clouds
too soon the dream
evaporates into
an ordinary day
in morning grayness
the song of the robin
the fan-tailed silhouette of the grackle
the scissor-tailed flight of the flycatcher
all is well
who knew grasses
had colors and textures
as varied as
autumn leaves
crunchy under bare feet
and rustling in the breeze
the last of the flowers
perfume the cooler air
better now than never
let me taste the fragrance
before the winter whitewashing
time to sleep and dream
cherry blossoms
again in my hand
on the edge
of the seasons
on the boundaries
of night and day
in the shadows
of dead growth
life springs forth
