the ol’ barn (tanka)


old, abandoned barns

have old, forgotten secrets–

within and without

we may never know all that’s

buried behind the ol’ barn

missed shots (tanka)

when i’m following

a set of tracks in the woods

i’m prepared to shoot

for the photos that i’ve missed

were definitely my best

tanka 2/21/21

 

finic

i only knew of

warm days by the cool waters–

and then winter came

yet winter soon taught me that

happiness comes from within

great wizards (tanka)

finpurp

witches tremble when

strangely colored mists roll in–

the great wizard nears!

witches know that spells do work,

but the great wizard knows why

Flow of Life (tanka)

fingirls

My final sunset

Will also be somebody’s

Very first sunrise

I look at my granddaughters

And accept the greater scheme

A Roaming Therapy (Tanka)

When my mind’s a mess

I go see my therapist–

Ol’ Mother Nature!

I walk into the woods to

Find my way out of the woods

–Photo by me

within

we walk down life’s path

hoping to find happiness–

but it’s not out there

it will never come to us

it can only come from us

half & half

the physical realm

and the spiritual plane

are one and the same

when we try to divide them

we end up with two half-truths

tall tales

finta

children tell tall tales

to naive younger children–

and believe them too

the greatest storytellers

never lose that innocence

lost inner child

fhill

 

my lost inner child

hangs out on a hill among

a few wildflowers

we run into each other

more and more as i grow old
