Earth croaks three long times,
Morning sun rises and weeps
At the dirt of man
Morning sun rises and weeps
At the dirt of man

a faint glow hidden beneath
charred logs and moonlight

Clear sky, a chill breeze
Daffodils nodding sagely

Blinding yellow sun
Attempts to hide the faint moon.
Still, it is present.

Fiery sunset burns
In purple sky. Smokestacks climb
To touch its bright rays.

To touch its bright rays.
catbird on a limb
total eclipse of the sun
a distant rumbling

Weeping blood red sun
Hangs low in the evening sky,
Dreams of long-lost loves.

The sunflower shifts,
Moonlight wakes a sleeping dawn
Gesturing dew... drops.

I have the moon's howl inside.
The world turns away.

Morning mist rises
To the top of mount Fuji
Under purple skies

Under purple skies
The moon and the stars
continue to shine their light
when all else seems dark

dark drifting wall-cloud
tendrils of rain trail below
backlit setting sun

like a waft of smoke
a blanket of white gnats drift
in dappled sunlight

warped by summer sun and rain
our sanctuary

trimming donkey feet
summer sun behind rain clouds
I call with carrots

Field beneath the sun
Colors of different hues
Red, yellow, green, blue.
Colors of different hues
Red, yellow, green, blue.
Summer flowers grow
Feeling green grass underneath
Stars dot fading skies

catches the smoke you exhale
a rosette pattern

I unfurl the sail
Under the pale moon
Swerving between my two legs
Cat attempts murder

Cat attempts murder

above abandoned farmhouse
plow unfallowed sky

palm trees shadow sun-kissed skin
coconut heaven

early spring sunrise
gold at the crest of the hill
daffodils in bloom

Branches fight for sun
reaching skyward; mushrooms rest
on the forest floor.

Sun pokes through the clouds
Casting water images
Reflections of you

Reflections of you
Happy, salient times
Golden rays of morning sun
Silver glow of dusk
