At Agua Fria and Camino Alire:
Through the red light Broken down car – Chihauhau grinning.
~~
Gust of wind A flock takes flight - Dry winter leaves.
~~
At the dog park today off 599, and a changing friendship:
Distant mountains retreating with dusk - unanswered phone.
~~
Melting snow falls in the morning -all is passing Honey with my cup of tea.
~~
Snow blossoms on branches A mourning dove cries My heart opens.
~~
Gazing from the porch a red balloon floats higher in the sky - free!
~~
Along the twisted edges
of the still branches
trembling lilac blossoms
~~
Blooms blush on branches The wheel of time turns A smile in my heart
~~
Winter moon in the branches the nightingale sings
Homesick
~~
In the zendo, in the kitchen, A familiar face missing - the snow moon wanes.
~~
Profound sigh in the night asleep on the bed - dreaming dog!
