smoke from the east
making breathing difficult
summer's gifts remain
poetry, prose, and photography

smoke from the east
making breathing difficult
summer's gifts remain

dawn moves through the trees
and early morning silence –
calmly sipping tea

waking in darkness
underneath the fullest moon
delightful silence

underneath sunlight
the fleeting grace of summer
amongst the breezes

a day in sunlight
seabirds dancing overhead
cool breeze refreshes

sunlight's graceful arc
walking through the golden dusk
with the air cooling

sunlight through the trees
embracing the waning summer
nearby, children play

sunlight descending
cool air drifting past the shore
slowly summer fades
