first light this morning
later than it was last week
walking in the dark
small souls on a small planet
noticing the small changes

2024.07.30: separating
across the divide
easy to see in nature
not so with humans
arbitrary boundaries
hard for some to overcome
2024.07.23: displaced
full moon slides past clouds
the scent of magnolias
recalling past walks
child alone on moonlit path
finding comfort from afar
2024.07.16: refining
this July’s hot days
fusing with all the others
eternal summer
the hopes and dreams of last spring
whittled and left to endure
2024.07.09: solidarity
a slice of heaven
may be not as good as some
better than others
be happy with those joyful
and grieve with those suffering
Longing For Water
