the stars are bright in the night sky
I could see the craters on the not quite full moon
the breeze was but a whisper
temperatures are balmy
the air is still heavy with humidity from sequential days of rain
feels like a summer night
tank top
flip flops
and all
soon
for the school year
is nearly done
whisper
this morning is filled
with the glow of sunshine,
blue sky,
the gentlest whisper
of a breeze,
and the promise
of spring
in the yellow
of an early daffodil’s bloom
sighing content sighs
and smiling a serene smile
as this new day dawns
anew
Spring makes my heart sing
Can you tell?
bedtime tonight
tonight as I tucked him in,
my eight year old son,
his eyes lookin’ wide awake
my eye lids feelin’ heavy
he said, “My body clock
is on Tokyo time.”
well, that would explain it
I stretched out
beside him
and whispered
I love you
close your eyes
think happy thoughts
have good dreams
I’ll see you
in the mornin’
I may have dozed
for just a bit
fleece pjs on now
warmin’ up some
my pillow
is callin’
goodnight
