winter wonderland—

painted horses mid-gallop

under silent moonlight

Sunday picnic—

grandma knee deep in the lake,

chasing minnows

summer stillness—

an old man taps his cane

for amusement

an empty desk–

her pink coffee mug

still in the same spot

at the burial—

teardrops and raindrops mingle

under the spring sky

on the blanket of childhood

before the hush of chimes

answers the summer breeze
