How easily it goes on
How easily it goes out again.

The stars pass.
The moon passes.
Blue clouds pass above the mountains to the north.
The years go by.

Only today left
of spring. My walking
ended it.

On a mountain slope
Solitary, uncompanioned
Stands a cherry tree.
Except for you, lonely friend,
To others I am unknown.

The depth of the hearts
Of humankind cannot be known.
But in my birthplace
The plum blossoms smell the same
As in the years gone by.

traveling geese
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

submitted in response to Paula’s Thursday Color Challenge: park
simply for all this,
as if there were nothing else,
heavy wet spring frost
