Sidewalk in Black & White

my movement is life
concrete underneath my feet
sunlight through the clouds

Shot the photo while on a walk near home, then edited in Instagram. Original is color, but black and white just felt right.

suburban walking
humor in this time of fear
crows laughing boldly

in this night’s darkness

within the sacred silence

seek peace together

the blue sky beckons
one blossom reaches the sky
gravity ignored

a moment outdoors
springtime’s flowers greeting me
with social distance

spring moving forward
flowers carefree in the sun
bees ignore my gaze

suburban sunlight
neighbors socially distant
feeling springtime’s close

the wind blowing cold
painful to fingers and face
sun upon the mountains

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

the daffodils’ gaze
dancing on the near-spring breeze
while the jays chatter
