Fades

Love in the Mist fades, /

grows spindly and goes to seed /

in the ground and heart.

Photo finish Friday: “Hearing”

Hearing

Rain is deaf to me. /

It hears me not as it clatters /

against your rose.

Earth Day, everyday

We can no longer exploit the resources of this earth—the trees, the water, and other natural resources—without any care for coming generations. Common sense tells us that unless we change, we won’t survive. This Earth Day let’s resolve to live in harmony with nature.

—Dalai Lama

The road, the clouds, the wires /

from your moments here.

Over in the East, /

Photo finish Friday: “Failure”

Failure

Is their poetry /

in failure? Bleak winter sun /

pockets its promise.

Lapses

Another year lapses /

Burdened with what might have beens: /

Tomorrow whispers.
