sunlight’s downward path
as I wander past the fears
ah, cherry blossoms!
Ah, Cherry Blossoms!

more sunlight each day
and the grace of warmer days
cherry blossoms bloom

dancing on the near-spring breeze

A New Musical Discovery
I know that I mostly post poetry, and more specifically haiku, here. However, music also holds a dear spot in my soul. So, discovering this video today thrilled me in many ways (I grew up on a regular diet of Simon & Garfunkle), and I wanted to share it with all of you.
It’s a version of Simon & Garfunkle’s “America” done by the Swedish duo First Aid Kit. Check out who’s in the audience.
A Daylight Savings Time Haiku
sunlight to the east
springtime deceiving our clocks
the air, cold and dry
Another step closer to spring.
The Past, The Future, Focus
stories of the past
yet I look to the future
I am far from done
Met a really cool guy today. A former Navy nuclear power program sailor, just like me. Though he is quite a bit younger.
Swapped stories of our respective experiences, which I enjoyed. Yet I often worry in those moments that I’ll become like the subject of Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”, a relic, trapped in the past. Grave fate, for me, at least.

out into the night
a beacon on my sidewalk
crisp air reminders
