Reminiscing
Morning bacon
Eggs and coffee
Aromas waft
Through the cabin
Reminder of
Laughter filled times
As children, teens
Energetic
Young adults when
The world was
At our hot
Eager to live
Life and explore
Deft fingertips

Peaceful Retreat
Old cabin in
The woods a few
Yards from the lake
Throwback in time
Forces slower
Pace on worn souls
A simpler life
If only for
Two lazy days

Writer’s Paradise
Inspiration strikes
As streaks of sunlight
Peek through the sides of
Drawn shades marking
The notebook page with
Diagonal light
Filtered through red pines

Nature’s Morning Meditation
Air hangs on trees
Thick, moist, cloying
Breezeless vapors
Glassy water
Reflects morning
Sun mirrored sky
Sudden silence
For a minute
Then life resumes

Celebration (4th of July)
Across the
Vast night sky
Flashes of
Bright light burst
Into spheres
And colored
Plumes fall to
Earth leaving
Trails of smoke behind
