“Keep them out…”

Strangers with promises,

Hard to believe. ...

Unexpected words,

By a lonely bench,

On a country road. ...

Not there yet.

Still,

I can imagine it all. ...

Which,

Would you rather be?

Red, ...

Cheerful flowers,

Cannot distract.

Single-legged. ...

To be enjoyed,

Before a specific date.

Not to mention, ...

I miss those days,

When he was still around.

Tending to his garden, ...

Some days,

Life’s road seems confusing.

Which direction to go, ...

Not alone.

Not yesterday, or today.

Years of standing together. ...

Dry on dry.

When the movie,

Was ending. ...

One of those grey days…

When raindrops refuse to cease,

And thoughts dance, ...

Blank pages,

Silly notes,

Pockets of levity, ...

Determination and dreams,

Find ways to bloom.

Old-world weather forecast,

Using a stone.

Long before satellites, ...

Unusual and vivid.

Handwritten,

In bright smudges, ...

Hazy and brown.

Darkness,

Dancing with light. ...

What to look appreciate…

Drying wheat field.

Grey, silent lake. ...

Hard outside.

Soft,

Where you won’t reach. ...

Sit here.

Rest.

Soak in the sun, ...

Life letting go,

On bare stones.

Romantic, lonely, cold. ...
