This night now ending
Time to calm my random thoughts
And embrace my rest
poetry, prose, and photography
This night now ending
Time to calm my random thoughts
And embrace my rest

In this deep darkness
As this day transformed to new
This eerie silence?
Darkness holds its own
Rest is deceptively hard
The street-light’s ally


Another Sunday
The day’s faded to darkness
Summer’s heat waning
Sunlight has vanished
The summer night’s heat disturbs
My dream’s stay silent

The day’s heat lingers
Sunlight blocked by the mountains
Summer’s kind mercies
It was a warm one today. Especially by Seattle standards. Got some walking in, a little shopping, farmers market time, chatting friends…all things that build connection and community.
Looking through the dark
Bugs orbiting a street light
Buzzing electrons

As I glance skyward
Into this summer evening
Moving towards nightfall
Now that it is night
With clouds vanquished far away
Summertime feels here
My relentless mind
In perpetual motion
Sleeping’s a challenge
Awake against my will
Dreaming of dreaming
Longing for slumber
The machinery of my mind
Psychological cogs churn and spin
Whirring hum of my soul
