cold nose burrow of warm flannel - morning light
tempslibres
cool night air city noises fade away memories
tempslibres
cool night air folding chair meditations
tempslibres
market day hot tired shoppers wait for the free bus
tempslibres
call to prayer roosters too fresh morning air
tempslibres
dog barks somebody starts their car summer's morning light
tempslibres
deer carcass alongside the highway silently accepts the rainstorm
tempslibres
is spring coming bombs raining down on tripoli on aljazeera
tempslibres
winter sesshin in the kitchen my cracked teacup
tempslibres
after winter sesshin sharing tea silence
tempslibres
winter's cold dreaming of my ex-wife
tempslibres
the sulphuric scent of winter coal out for a walk
tempslibres
sometimes sunny sundays in november are unfair
tempslibres
sunny sunday in november half assembled shelves wait in the kitchen
tempslibres
sunday in autumn neighbor needs money for her cancer meds
tempslibres
november email remembering sycamores outside the window
tempslibres
october over listening to heavy rain call to prayer
tempslibres
heavy steady rain back pain skipped friday prayer
tempslibres
heavy steady rain through windows through wet trees the lake in the rain
tempslibres
passover moon through the bare branches
tempslibres
The Holy Land no heat no food no water craters
tempslibres
new fire old coals in the old stove new year
tempslibres
rainstorm guests huddle with candles waiting for dinner
tempslibres
after an hour of rain the crickets all seem happy
tempslibres
kumquats with Russian tea then slowly I undress Ellen
tempslibres
in the hyacinth garden I sneak a kiss between Jimmy's lips
tempslibres
September 11th steady slow soft rain
tempslibres
full moon full ripe figs end of summer
tempslibres
solstice after the last match the last call to prayer
tempslibres
spring full moon new roses
tempslibres
all night long on the veranda drinking tea and talking about God and our new parrot
tempslibres
"Right left" The flash of the float plane's light
Rain on the forest
the crunch of the first leaf a sweet sigh
tempslibres
the sound of the first fallen leaf this Autumn day
tempslibres
2 am rain and wind on the island another insomnia night
tempslibres
Soft rain her thoughts of lost love intrude into her day
tempslibres
He looks at her underlying chill in the air smell of rain
tempslibres
Another day without him she misses all the little things "still
the sun shines"
cancer clinic visit day breaking from the night a seaplane is waiting
tempslibres
feelings of joy float in and out red seaweed
tempslibres
On the pillow his bouquet of wild flowers this last day of Spring
tempslibres
Dusting off the ancestors and stirring up memories Spring cleaning
tempslibres
waiting for the sun the clouds hide his face first cup of coffee
tempslibres
awake at 3 am she drags her kimono from room to room
tempslibres
a milky sea mass of logs sit and rest as an eagle soars
tempslibres
finally a day of sun here in the rain forest freckles on my face
tempslibres
From the tidal pool Two crabs in an embrace Today's lunch
tempslibres
Buddhist monks chat On the 49th day of the disaster Looking for lost souls
tempslibres
Dawn The night separating from the day A bird's song
tempslibres
On the table Apple blossom branches A new scent
tempslibres
Forever waiting For the ring of the phone Watching the rain
tempslibres
In the hospital Watching the clouds drift by Sharp needle in the hand
tempslibres
Grey and rainy Going with my Mother To a senior's complex
tempslibres
Soft rain My Mother and I look At retirement homes
tempslibres
Rainy February day Cloud after cloud after cloud Pray for a clear day
tempslibres
Chilly morning Memories of a love affair Floating in my mind
tempslibres
Home again His scent lingers On her kimono
tempslibres
Awoken at 4 am The honking of Canada geese Spring is here
tempslibres
Snowballs her seasonal cookies eaten one by one
tempslibres
Grey surrounds wind blows in from the window Advents candles blow out
tempslibres
Winter solstice too many things to do this shortest of days
tempslibres
On the island the first snowfall red gloves
tempslibres
First mandarin sweet and sour taste scent of Christmas
tempslibres
Side of the road flowers a deep shade of blue thoughts fly to you
tempslibres
A wind up frog hops across the wooden floor thoughts of haiku
tempslibres
On the weight scale too many extra pounds Autumn's abundance
tempslibres
"Crunch crunch crunch"
stepping on fallen acorns
Rain clouds patches of blue in the sky first cup of coffee
tempslibres
In the morning darkness coffee cup in hand missing the sunshine
tempslibres
Fall morning fog resting on cedars cup of Kona
tempslibres
Fall afternoon the boat on the river slow heart beating
tempslibres
Hazy skies the cedars less dark this Summer day
tempslibres
Crickets in the garden time passing me by Mother's ageing hands
tempslibres
My son's birthday not sharing the cake chasing the seagull away
tempslibres
cloudless night she looks into the mirror counting new wrinkles
tempslibres
Cloudy sky the sun a bright red first cup of coffee
tempslibres
(Rain filled morning i hold my face upward tears like rain
tempslibres
Cool and cloudy day slowly the season changes mirrored in your eyes
tempslibres
visit to the old villa the scent of lost money
tempslibres
After the Solstice already feeling the touch of Winter
tempslibres
The red breasted bird outside the cancer clinic Spring nest building now
tempslibres
Dark spring morning busy conversation of birds awakens interest
tempslibres
Morning sunshine bright chases all worry from cancer operation success
tempslibres
Dancing in the yard rows of tidy daffodils oh so very yellow
tempslibres
A float plane divides the Canada geese Summer stillness
tempslibres
Summer solstice the smoke of bonfires hill after hill
tempslibres
Spring cleaning today dead ladybug on the window memory of lost love
tempslibres
Cold sea and warm air merge fog horns
tempslibres
scent of seaweed drifts into the cemetery i walk alone
tempslibres
In the cemetary around his headstone first snowdrops
tempslibres
a slow walk to the cemetery memory of blue irises
tempslibres
Through the fog a few spots of red first Robins
tempslibres
Old chestnut tree white candles sway Spring wind
tempslibres
Ides of March her letter to him pain in his heart
tempslibres
Lights of the ferry -- leave the island of cedars in deep dark shadow
tempslibres
The full December moon he counts his birthdays snow on the temple
tempslibres
The Advent wreath candles lighting the dim room his old eyes shinning
tempslibres
November morning -- counting the many shades of grey
tempslibres
Chilly morning -- mountains topped with first snow warm coffee cup
tempslibres
Snow covered temple -- lone woman in a red coat kneels to pray anyway
tempslibres
