flags flying graveside
yet nothing done to end wars
need more flags next year
lives taken can’t be restored
only lasting peace honors

2022.05.16: testimony
a flash of color
trademark suspension in air
hummer here then gone
the flowers bear mute witness
and words don’t seem adequate
2022.04.27: unbiased
the last bud to open
marvelous adaptation
opening to life
nature follows no bias
whatever it takes to thrive
2022.04.21: tangible
small changes each day
so amazing to behold
the greening of trees
there is yet hope for the world
nature always finds a way
2022.04.05: respite
sunshine on puddles
an opening in the rain
then the clouds close ranks
given drought like conditions
no one complains about rain
Longing For Water
