May day-
a dandelion in a pot
at the nursery
over my head these feelings and clouds

over my head
these feelings
and clouds

high clouds…
one horse leans in
against another-
before our children
my wife and I were like that
wild blue yonder... a cloud celebration of the gift of today

wild blue yonder…
a cloud celebration
of the gift of today

illuminated clouds-

to breathe easy…

the farther away it gets
the more magical it becomes
those times at night
in the back seat ,
my parents taking us someplace…

a moment before our sun leaves us to another night...

a moment
before our sun leaves us
to another night…

stray light…
