So, it’s now Tuesday
Outside the window; darkness
Yet I must arise
poetry, prose, and photography

Walking in the night
Enjoying this graceful scene
Of the moon’s ascent
One of my favorite places is the waterfront in Edmonds, about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the shore. Even tonight in the cold, though there were moments of striking clarity.

This day was quite good
Filled with blessings of friendship
Within winter’s chill
I hope you’ve found goodness in your life today.

Easy distractions
I do need those reminders
Of what’s important
It’s important to refocus, from time to time, preventing me from getting too caught up in the mindlessness.

Under the cold sun
The welcomed sunlight warms me
Amidst bitter cold
As they reach downwards
Gravity’s and cold’s teamwork
Strange tranquility
