father’s day

father’s day –

another year passes

with no one to call.

summer heat

the sun forces me inward

dreaming

quiet footsteps

on cool tiles

the gentle silence

of you

March 22, 2009 by Mary

sunset

a pale spring moon

patiently awaits

the evening star

beneath the hollow tree

the scent

of tamarinds and honey

step gently

through the shade

the bees hum

a harvest song.

tiny bird

its presence

fills the room

cockatiel
