weather turning cold
nearly freezing new blossoms
cruel April Fool’s
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
2021.03.29: chorus
songbirds before dawn
full moon after equinox
two part harmony
2021.03.28: quid pro quo
small acts of goodness
for the friend who gave his life
doesn’t seem enough
Longing For Water
