just a few crickets
the call of a nearby owl
still, early morning
the marble table
sitting outside in half shade
just waiting to shine
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
With the quaking leaves
I feel the northerly breeze
Fall’s game is afoot.
dragonfly. all eyes.
may I hold you in my hand?
but you dodge the fall
One possible interpretation:
The all-seeing dragonfly must sense that cooler weather—and his impending demise—are near. Yet he is still agile enough to keep me from catching him in my hand. He continues to dodge the fall—avoid the inevitable.
