Celebration

Plum blossom in the snow

Celebration

finally, winter has gone

early plum blossoms

light fragrance tickles the nostrils

as soon as I get outside

spring thaw

human&dog cakewalk

cracks on the ice

awakened sparrows

looking for last year crumbs

morning sun

glances joyfully

early plum blossoms

a little petal’s soaring

even a bird has a dream…

Courtyard blues

at the courtyard

curly creepers keep track

the stories

hastily tapping heels,

creak of loosely closed door

to the barn…

the dead rejoice

reading the letters

a half-moon dream

in my garden

starflowers bloom

come and see

in my garden

unknown souls

host a show

starflowers bloom

every morning I find one

when my soul and I touch

come and see

sitting with me

the half-moon dream
