A Moment Outdoors

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

Sunset through the Olympics

Sunset through the Olympics

sunlight descending

engulfed in the water’s depths

walking to the south

Ah, Cherry Blossoms!

sunlight’s downward path

as I wander past the fears

ah, cherry blossoms!

Tonight’s Haiku: Eating Sunlight

springtime’s motion glancing upward into the sky eating sunlight

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.
