once dying hill
in the flame
blue lake
shudders at the memory
laughing budding leaves

Thorny words of yesterday
somber air today
brooding rain clouds
deep water between us
like crescent moon, once in a while,
we steal a glance of our corners
despite all, sometimes, we keep our doors ajar.

tonight
I am a ghost
navigating the galaxy
searching for the presaging star
of my youth

Now and then, we resort to our favorite
observation point
to clarify the thoughts that tend to
scatter away like petals in the wind
Today, we even forgot why we were here,
enchanted by the song of the pastel clouds
might as well be a carefree soul for the day.

like an obedient dog
waiting for his master
an old mailbox
waits for
its owner
Who hasn’t been inspired, one time or another, by countryside evening?
Even dingy, roadside prairie offers some poetic charm. Driving by the
countryside one evening, I was attracted by this weathered mailbox
whispered to me, “How’s it going, lady?” And I said, “Not too bad,
dude. Tomorrow will be better.” The last word lifted my somber mood,
and I found myself humming the rest way home.

Like the final work of
a retiring artist
receding ice on the lake
creates a bridge
seem dysfunctional, still
a majestic piece
like human, like nature.

In Wyoming we have snow storm even in April.
I’ve lived in the state for nearly three decades, and still I’m
struggling to get used to the weather! Lots of wind and long
winter. I like dry and clean air here though. There is no
perfect place, they say, which I agree. So, I’m stuck here and
love it.

Solid and fixed is my virtue, yet
flexible to shift at times
by friendly nudge or mindless thrust
that brings me no immediate change
some convivial soul draws on
my back a cartography
even the life of a stone has a shinny moment.
