SOMBER THOUGHTS*


Quiet thoughts,

somber moods.

High elevation,

my ears pop-

leaving me with

the clarity of

beauty around me.

ACORN LANE


We were eating candy apples

on Acorn Lane,

getting cozy in the orchard,

during a sunglow harvest.

We were feeling fall,

In the pumpkin patch,

during a hayride.

TIME CAPSULE


The time capsule travels on its own,

Through clouds to another place.

The buckle on my seat

Is secured,

As I travel on this journey.

PANDEMIC REFLECTIONS


Behind my house is a cliff,

overlooking a forest.

My meditations there each day

 are calming to my soul.

The valley below is serene,

with nature’s beauty surrounding me.

You can see for miles around.

Fragile feelings are exposed

as I write in my journal,

trying to distance myself

from the world’s chaos.


~


STOLEN MOMENTS


On a hill overlooking the city-

Lights below were translucent.

Travelers were escaping

On a journey through time and space.

These were moments of quiet reflection.


~
