Unglooming the Gloam
Leaden sky Absorbs the light. Wambling through the bamboo grove I enter into the gloaming... more
Sunrise on the Hills
The clouds were far beneath me; bathed in light, They gathered mid-way round the wooded height,
And, in their fading glory, shone

its branches reach... more

at twilight

Silent Saturday
Another Saturday
the sun shining brightly
the radio raucous with song
the house deathly quiet.
My children grew up.
They are not here. more
