peace of mind (shadorma)

peace of mind

is a pastel sky

and a few

ragged trees,

and the way they all sway in

the gentlest breeze

–photo by me

daylight

daylight never ends–

it just gets swept

into bright little piles

by tall trees

in the evening,

and blown around

by solar wind

in the morning.

i heard a ruffed grouse drumming,

so i tip-toed toward the sound;

he couldn’t hear me coming,

and this is what i found:

he kept picking up the tempo

in a feverish display,

and reaching a crescendo,

he quit and flew away

i went for a walk this morning

i wish you could’ve seen the view

a dragonfly circled around me

i thought maybe it was you

i heard the birds all singing

they sang our song, it’s true

you’re in everything i see

and everything i do
