the garden

20 Thursday Feb 2014

through the garden-

summer breeze…

18 Tuesday Feb 2014

summer breeze...

early summer breeze
plays the sun
across the forest ferns-
everything so nice
I hardly know what to do

this quest...

how old it becomes
but no denying
the appeal of this quest
for what is new
and turned out latest
