a wakeful night

day lost to dreaming; the evening breezes whisper – now a wakeful night

sea sound

sea sound

the gentle shushing

wave against the shore

my world contracts

and I

cocooned in salty silence

slide

into the sand

little mother

sitting

in a green chair

the little mother

marks time

in half hours

father’s day

father’s day –

another year passes

with no one to call.

summer heat

summer heat

the sun forces me inward

dreaming

quiet footsteps

on cool tiles

the gentle silence

of  you

Dhamapada Verse

Long is the night for the wakeful; Long is the journey for the weary; Long is samsara for the foolish who know not the Sublime Truth

louder than

Tan tan and the sea
