Shelter
On this quiet night
Under the moon's silver light
People are dreaming
As Devas offer guidance
In the silence of a glance
A possum freezes
In the headlights of a car
That brakes just in time
***
"It makes a big difference,
All that new insulation."
While folding laundry
She makes plans for tomorrow
And for the next week
"I'm sorry you can't make it.
That's OK. Another time."
***
For him it's a song,
Even after all these years,
The sound of her voice
Mingling with a steady wind
And the falling plum blossoms
Starlings are in flight
During the long, slow sunset
Clouds of red and gold
***
She begins her second job,
The bills just keep coming in
The weather report:
At least five more days of heat,
And no rain in sight
In an abandoned building
A runaway finds a home
Best wishes,
Jim

AW Thank you!!!
I would quit w/o your comments.
You're welcome. When I figure out how to do it I'll list your blog as a link. I'm kind of a technopeasant, so it will take me awhile.
Best,
Jim
