Watching the night sky...
Clouds changing as the sun sets,
Moon drifting behind.

Growing old, thinking
Of people who shaped my life...
How much I owe them.

23 August 2017

Along the canal,
Drifting past farms, villages...
Dozing in the sun

During the eclipse,
Clouds obscured our view; at least
The dog didn't care.

This week, dropping out
Seemed like a plan...but tonight
Seems like desertion.

Outside the window,
A hollyhock is blooming...
The first time ever.

A wise man only makes
Decisions when his passions
Are under control.

Seven decades ago,
Our fathers fought the darkness.
And now it returns.

8 August 2017

A good chair, and light,
And a  book to read, and I
Am set for the night.

As the books pile up,
 Choosing what to read is hard.
What will it be now?

Part of growing old
Is not sleeping as much...or
So it seems to me.

The crabapple tree
Continues to drop its crop
All over the walk..

Too tired to think,
So I'll see if I can sleep.
The dog will join me.
