nature

into my heart…

I was alone on a sunny shore

by the forest’s pale blue lake,

in the sky floated a single cloud

and on the water a single isle.

The ripe sweetness of summer dripped

in beads from every tree

and straight into my open heart

a tiny drop ran down.

weekly photo challenge: minimalist

even more so

because of being alone

the moon is a friend

dew-laden,

it falls without wind–

a single leaf.
