Ripening

Each green blueberry /

a process of ripening /

timelessness into taste.

“From many”

From many

From many, one drops /

Earthward, away from the sky. /

No seeds in the sun.

Dance
Some Iris bloom /
while other Iris blooms die. /
Light and shadows dance.

Pilgrims

Nature’s first pilgrims, /
flowing along each Iris,
raindrops find no homes.

Memories are blades /
carving longing from the heart, /
leaving sorrow’s sting.

Palm to the blue sky, /

I grasp the day as clouds sail /

across my fingers.

Each cloud a thought: /

I wave good-bye.
