in a reverie
at the long traffic light
it occurs to me
why would I want
to do more, faster

something  from the distant past approaching...

from the distant past
approaching…

ferry, friends, New York City, past, photography, poetry, Staten Island, tanka

I check out both ends
of the Staten Island ferry
and join the majority…
those who look ahead
to where we are going

Staten Island ferry... the ride over and back just for the ride...

Staten Island ferry…
the ride over and back
just for the ride…

love, marriage, memories, past, photography, poetry, tanka, vows

we work briskly
into the momentum of the day
a long list of what to do,
once all there was
was to fall in love

Berta & Tom wedding day 4-03-87

once upon a time
28 years ago
we began a journey
together
to who knows where…
