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

the way
a tree will absorb
a thing

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

in the yard
the time has come
to look again…

daybreak-
the rubber duck alone

all lined up…

how ironic
coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it all go…

“the way
time waits for no one…”
another beautiful barn

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

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…

could be I’m tired

gives me a certain peace

milkweed
on one plant
from bud to bloom…

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

the mystery
of where we all go
at the end of the day…
