spring’s finally here
with less than usual fanfare
are our hearts less glad
shall we grieve for what’s missing
or be thankful for what we have

2021.03.31: fleeting
fading so quickly
beauty is here then is gone
those who blink miss out
some may call it illusion
less time doesn’t mean less real
2021.03.30: tumbleweeds
old farmhouse bulldozed
homesteads become tract housing
the land lies unloved
rootless people blow away
scattered where the winds take them
2021.03.23: realm
visiting hometown
some places remaining the same
people rarely do
home is a place and a time
here and now for those awake
2021.03.14: revelation
those who do evil
avoid the light of the truth
preferring darkness
there’s no shadow at high noon
all are exposed to be seen
Longing For Water
