Almost dark, and yet
today still lingers

In a world
of lies – why not blossoms
that don’t fall?

blossoms scatter
never knowing
our regrets

Morning haze
jewels of rain, falling
in a dream

the city park is home
early spring

While wandering about the city park in Fort Collins, the experience of “being here; yet not here” is reflected within this multiple exposure…
while this image is a telling of park visitors…unseen

overwhelming
my memory
blossoms at dusk

her smile…says: Jubilant
Ah, the deep woods –
so quiet one can hear
blossoms fall

simply for all this
as if there was nothing else
early spring sunlight

100 days…29th day
Trailed with clouds
The layered memories
Of time forever gone
Stands between us now
In this spring dawn

100 days…28 days
sweet peas blooming –
seasons of time, echoing
“Mom’s favorite flower.”

100 days…27th day
