shadows on the stairs
the leaves dancing in the breeze
a haunting rhythm

shadows on the stairs
the leaves dancing in the breeze
a haunting rhythm

rain pool by freeway
a great white egret wading
outside flow of time

through the window screen
the scent of English tea rose
many birthdays past

trapped between pulled shade
and the illusion of light
an unfulfilled life

clouds over hospital
time slows waiting for answers
the world keeps rolling
