Tranquility
Moonlit clouds
Gracefulness
The moon peeks through the clouds this cool Seattle evening. Misty rains paused long enough for me to complete a walk. Thus my mood’s betterment achieved.
Wishing you all thoughts of peace during these troubled times.
daylight dances
petal to petal
hummingbirds sing
violet vibrance
boldness of life shining forth
forgotten too soon
gravity’s demand
even the sun can’t resist
calmness comes with night
an ocean of sound
boldly starting the day
the sky remains dark
Pre-dawn tones, birds and insects chatter, apart yet together. Robins, crickets, then crows: acoustic motion across my consciousness.
Saturday morning, just a few more days left of June. Many types of chronological motion, too, greying my hair. Speaking to me of near ancient memories. Ancient, at least, in terms of humanity, of human life-spans.
call of summer light
feeding of vigorous life
ready for fresh rains
jaunty tunes
wheels bearing
iced confections
Summertime is upon us. It’s definitely arrived in Seattle, though looks like it might pause this weekend. I hope you’re feeling the pleasent joys summer brings.
​Calming coolness upon me
Memories of walking, early morning, Seattle
Along the peak of Capitol Hill
Downwards through the city
Before urban life starts
Before thousands of coffee cups
Deliver their payloads
Of productivity
petal dynamics
unfolding in the sunlight
grace in thankfulness
ascending the curve
sunlight climbing the mountains
dancing cosmic orbs
