Inhaling the scent
Of freshly peeled orange
I begin the day

Night

Out for drinks tonight
Loud music,  cute men, laughter
All things are empty

Vibrant

Black bird in a ditch
Standing in moss and clover
Impossibly still

Blossoms

A walk in the rain
Holding a white umbrella
Like the trees in bloom

Lull

The spring rain has stopped
Leaving a quiet, dark night
I slow my breathing

Mindful Action

As I cleanse the home
The troubled mind will settle
Muddy water clears

Evening Meditation on the Balcony

Watching a palm tree

quiver and sway against a

sky of gold and grey
