Cicada in tree
will you wake the sleeping cat?
a singing supper


no need to pretend
somehow, he just understands
bromance–dog and man

at grandmother’s house
those hot, buttery pancakes
music stirs the soul

what is the future
but an echo of the past?
same stream, new water

balance from within
outside is a weather vane
follow heart, not wind

the heart can handle hurdles
think tortoise, not hare

Every time it rains,
I start a big fire outside.
Let them fight it out.

Do not dwell on bad
