what a waste of song
morning birds i did not hear -
oh sing for me now

orange clouds dimming -
to reflect on the sunset
is anyone's gain

a tedious task
counting stars as they appear
with a twinkling

PATTERNS OF LIGHT


they pattern themselves
willy nilly on the ground
these fallen blossoms

the thunder sounded
yet a baby's cry was heard
from the house next door

it rained and rained lots
a curtain of water set
to the window view

today a sun day
patterns of light on floor tiles
by divine artist

one bird's chant -
anchoring the new day
coolness of dawn

coolness of dawn -
echoes in the empty street
where thoughts gather

rosary beads spin between light -
alas! the night was
