with hummingbirds gone
and no trees filled with bird song

There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven.

Waiting to Shine
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)

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.

the morning after
birds singing in the brisk breeze
thankful for the rain
Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge Him. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.
Hosea 6:3 (NIV)
and in summer, too. 😊

Sitting center street
Stands the ancient, mighty oak
The world goes around
step out on the rocks
just beyond the water’s edge
sunset’s siren song
