lost and alone
a wandering spirit

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
unknown poet
words sprawled in a notebook
yellow and fade
hope in ashes
fragments of dust cling
to the edge of dreams
clamor of crows
snakes through morning mist
settling in trees
pinched with thumb
grass seed scatter
crickets chirp
morning downpour
raised to new heights
afternoon clouds
admiring new signs
of life and blossoms
desert sounds
out of the sun’s way
clouds moving
jaunt in open car
creating our own breeze
beach tent billows
in the summer blue
white clouds
tumbling out we race
into the foaming surf
dancing lights
clouds sprinkle the sun
across water
we wander the shore
searching for new diversion
clouds
colored by open wall
a driftwood lair
exploring the catch
we drag our treasures homeward
curving with the land
a rainbow of clouds
moves out to seaa
evening settles upon us
with a cool shower

girl reaches for lost balloon
I hold my breath, hoping
The wind from Mt. Fuji
I put it on the fan.

creates sleepy afternoon

new ducklings approach water
startled by splashing frogs
dervishes whirling
– seeking a higher consciousness

blowing one more dandelion
into the amber sunset
