transit joys of life

transit joys of  life

the laughter at the summer concert
jovial crowds at the beach
a hot dog at a summer picnic 
icy lemonade in August
plaid flannel in November
short-sleeve shirt in May

setting sun and rising moon
warm summer mist
southern breeze in April
oaks tinged with  color
last red maple leaf

a child's innocence 
freshness of a new friend
memories of a lost love 
lust’s fever
dogma held tight
fads of youth

all things 
change,
all.


"tinged with color"

  1. As always dynamic imagery and a fierce determination for clarity
    Masterful, nosralgic and uplifting.

  2. Goes well with your "Simple Riches" poem. They complement the Zen in each other. Another good one to hang in your tokonoma for a tea celebration!
