Sanctuary
After forty years
Dwelling in the winter light --
The aged couple
Contemplating retirement
Watching their grandchildren play
Under the array,
The web of cherry blossoms,
Sitting quietly
As the mind wanders freely
While taking a morning break
He is never late,
His table is always ready,
At the corner cafe
Leaves scatter, falling away,
A cascade of red and gold
The moon, bright and bold,
Traverses the Leo sky
And a few thin clouds
"Turn it down, it's much too loud,"
She's looking out the window
Thoughts, like seeds, can grow
And change the course of a life,
The course of the world
The new house plans are unfurled,
He is very proud of them
"We'll preserve the glenn,"
A summer sanctuary
For birds and wildlife
The hermit, free from all strife,
Listens to the fading wind
