We enjoy buying flower bouquets when we go to a store. As bouquets fade, we create new arrangements.
fog, green leaves
and beach grasses
a blue vase
with red carnations
by the window
trimming the stems
of carnations
and giving them
fresh water
October sun
the day changes
with light and seasons
Autumn soon
cedar tree shadows
on the cedar garage
early light
red begonia plant
in sun by the door

near windows
sun on leaves where
hummingbirds were
today and yesterday
small flowers
near the kitchen windows

we wait and watch
the train go by
in our small town

and peace
for those in need

As Karl said, “Their epic journey.”

on old beloved roads
