cold fog and drizzle
standing water turns to ice
one more cup of teaa distant dog keeps barking
just outside a closed door

Morning echoes
distant light
dim through mist not scattered
by breath of wind
sounds fold back upon themselves
echoes too close to be heard

Eventide
the wind rests quiet on the land
faint sunlight shrinks behind
tree branches and blue clouds
pasted on a blue-grey skybirds sing summonings
then nestle into nests
for warmth throughout
a night with which the cold
returns too sooncling to the cold, a shield
against the warming days

Day 26, Life-long learning | #NaPoWriMo2018
nahaiwrimo:April 26 LEARN
Real life-long learning doesn’t have to be profound or deep or even long-lasting. Doing so keeps us young! While in Boston this last weekend, I learned that I love lobster rolls. I also learned that I love the warm welcoming people I met. Learning something new blesses us all in one way or another and perhaps only in hindsight. Onward!

moist dirt between my toes
sunlight’s warmth
after a lingering winter
it’s time to plant flowers
