Poetic Fragments

 

Sudden rainstorm,

for a short time

the world seems 

to stop

there is a brief,

 but gentle ease and peace

in the relative stillness.

….after the storm

raindrops drip down

finding the way

to the trees, leaves, and flowers

eventually

puddled on the ground

while far up and above

birds again begin to chirp their songs

beauteous odes to nature

almost as announcements

….then

 the storm clouds depart

the sun, in all it’s  brilliance

shines once again

…..everything resumes

seemingly

not at all

having lost a single step

reactionary

one’s cold callous uncaring

Sometimes

 

 new opportunites arise

 

when doors close on others

 

new chances, new starts

 

brand new opportunities

 

there for the taking

 

Reach……

Poetic Fragments

 

Catching a glimpse

over a hundred year span

those who have experienced much,

willing to impart thoughts and wisdoms

with those who have only to come

bringing a willingness, open ears, hearts,

 and minds

oral traditions continued…….

Poetic Fragments

 

 

Scattered to the four winds

friendships rekindled….

some things are not meant to be left alone, or broken apart

slowly picking up the pieces of yesterday …and laughing heartily

damn the hairlines that have retreated

hair and beards have much more gray, white, and silver

inside, youth will not be denied

apple-tossing rabble-rousers of yesterday live on

subdued in this latter day and age.

captured moments time

cannot escape memories  

passion grace and fire

folks events experiences

parts and pieces of me now

Dad

Dad

 

Memories,

Thankfully not fading at all with time

How quickly,

the years had already gone by

Since your passing

I’m finding that we were much more alike than I once might have admitted to…..

Life does make some things painfully apparent

thankfully

We both made our peace, so many years ago

Big enough, to bury hatchets

Things, differences, and People

 of a much different time

so long ago

 

You are  loved, never to be forgotten

Senryu

though no fault his own

early retirement was deemed

presence missed, lone spot

memories, keepsakes

regrets, things not all settled

regrets, things not said

looks beyond hard cold marble

perpetuity

Celestial Wonderings

 

celestial allurment

star-kissed glimmerings and twinklings

up highest

against a backdrop

framed of pure darkness

timeless pullings

incessant

inner callings

eyes, hearts, souls, and minds

we built

endless fables, fascinations, and fabrications

over countless ages

monuments to ourselves

commemorate

our place in time

temporary footprints in sands of time

hopelessly recumbent chasers

of ancient light

and secrets

that time never really held true
