dawn's breath, gentle release
tree-bound doves coo their delight
the day's lungs fill, fresh

Mistery

A misty sunrise,
The truth will never be clear;
Just sit, in silence.

An untold story

Two leaves in the air;
Moving rhythmic, together
A story untold

the morning's dim heat
distant thin clouds shimmer high
new buds yawn to life

Dancing in the wind

Unexpected swirls
Brought by a soft gentle wind
Cause treetops to dance

Freedom

A simple raindrop
On the edge of breaking free
Gently falling down

Water

Drops so crystal clear
Make your reflection appear
Just invisible

still clouds overhead
in shade, rest -- in sun, warm life
duality endures

Cape Town [City Bowl] @ 6 November 2016

Fireworks

Explode in fire spheres
From crimson to real turquoise
Send joy in dull night

a crisp spring eve's rain
lingers in the grey day's haze
gentle wonderment

Rose

Like red rose petals
We fall from life's challenges
Then we grow again
