Serendipity/ one single impression

At times from out of nowhere,
an essential element -
oft times not known to be needed -
mysteriously appears.
Alas, more often than recognized,
serendipity may be at hand.

Fleeting/ One Single Impression

As I watch the sun slip
towards the horizon --
daylight’s finale wedged between
that which has gone by and
that which is to come --
the sun’s glow pierces
the here and now with bliss,
and I wonder
how it is that the now
is forever on the move,
ever fleeting, ever changing,
yet eternally in the present.

Autumn/One Single Impression

September glory -
Asters amidst golden blooms.
Earth's star signals change.

Seeds/ One Single Impression

Poppy Pods

I ponder nature’s capsules -
living miracles,
dormant and appearing lifeless
yet chockfull of
wondrous possibilities.

I ponder political promises –
dynamic seeds
replete with wealth, success,
happiness and poof!
disappointing hocus pocus.

I ponder political rumors -
robust germs
alive with exaggeration, fear,
and malicious lies.
Is this democracy?

Defenses Down

Loner, unsure, tentative -
once a part, now apart,
like glacial debris adrift.

Cautions of human contact -
alert and defensive,
yet ice slowly melting.

Greeted, accepted, connected -
a stranger no more,
joined into the human flow.
