In the midst of the bustle,
The hectic,
The cramped,
A shared world
Sprawls lush green:
Just a few steps
Within
A deep breath
And some peace
To partake in.

He’s got all the right moves
He knows where the horn blows
He can tell you exactly
Where this big truck goes
He is one with the levers
Will press buttons with glee
He’s proficient in steering
It is quite plain to see.

When the day has been long
And all parking spots taken
Why not hoist up your bike
To lighten up expectation?

Flowers for Today

As fields of flowers bloom
And the breath catches
At the extravagance,
Let joy leap
As your soul watches
Spring fairies’ flitting elegance.

Every Which Way

As the fog masks the path
Take a breath
And hold tight.
May an arrow direct you
To a home
And a hearth.

Digging to China

He didn’t want to hear a word against the possibility.
“It is a round world, Meg,” he said,
And listened not to facts nor feasibility.
“China is there at the bottom, you will see.”
He said and spread the shovels all around for company.
It’s been a long first year of him retired
And the days stretched on.
“Go ahead, dear,” Meg agreed,
For China may let her keep her sanity indeed.

Eyes drawn up
To the height
To wingtips
In mid flight.
Lids squint at
The unseen:
What gift will
This stork
Bring?

More Than Afterthought
Photo: Ofir Asif
As good things end
And dear friends
Bid farewell,
Sweet and sorrow mix
Into the heart
And air
For things that will no longer be
And all to be remembered,
And for the many wonders
That will continue life
Just as the soul
Intended.
Dedicated with gratitude to all at the Daily Post, on their last day of The Daily Prompts, and the last week of the Weekly Photo Challenge, which along with the Community Pool and First Friday, are closing shop after 7.5 years. I wish them all much success in their future blog-ventures!
