beauty, day lily, daylilies, details, fleeting, flowers, now, orange, photography, poetry, summer, tanka

it is love we all want
and all these ways
we go about looking for it-
how strange in my secluded spot
a stranger finds me

day lilies
some have crossed
the road

open- hearted…
what I told my wife
all those years ago

in the yard
the time has come
to look again…

flowers, heat, lily pond, lotus, photography, poetry, ponds, summer, tanka, Virginia

the tentative start-up
of talk…
to a new friend?
begins the old doubt
of just who I am, again

Virginia ashram-
in the lotus pond
the heat

could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace

milkweed
on one plant
from bud to bloom…

in the theater
of my dreams
a working out
this double life
of the unresolved …

so much
passes by
before we know it…

the city
and all it’s business
including a snail
finding it’s way
in a garden…

the importance
of taking it slow
and easy…
