spring is going…

color and fragrance

of a figure seen leaving–

the going of spring

memories…blossom

a child’s smile…silent

resoundings within the heart,

memories…blossom

resounding

envy the wild geese

Lines
in the twilight mist
where they go I cannot see…
I envy the wild geese
only their voices trailing behind

deep…into spring

chasing a butterfly

deep into the spring woods,

I am lost

to look at flowers

with feeble steps

the old man

totters by–

to look at flowers

just once more, say, “flowers!”

once again, child,

just once more,

say, “flowers!”

in that little voice.

buds of spring

I never thought to throw

the fresh buds of spring

into this smoke–

and see it rising

pale into the sky

weekly photo challenge: vivid

such quantities of wind

on the floor of a spacious room

summer room–

and still not quite enough

kite day

get your camera out and join in the fun …  Vivid
