count down
Are you ready?
Green light
turning yellow
then red
…
one for the money
two for the show
three to make ready
and four to go
is more of
a count up
if we think about it
bookmark it
What are you reading this year?
a squirrel
dances along
the telephone line
…
highlight it
let it settle
in our mind
enough for us
to relect on it
until we are ready
to read again
a breath of
Does the cold bother you?
water drips
from the giant’s back
to the gutter
…
fresh air
can’t be unseen
once seen
is not something
we usually think
about when it’s
really cold
wait and see
What part are you playing?
after a year
the wall forgives
double sided tape
…
setting the trap
is only the first part
of the story
the next requires us
to wait for the fly
to do it's part
and stick the landing
wait, wait, wait
When do you exercise patience?
Apple pie
left on the counter
for our eyes
…
in a time
where everything
is literally
at our fingertips
we owe it
to ourselves
to show patience
photograph
What was the last photo you took?
cool chill
in the air before
the rainstorm
…
an eternity
can pass by
and we will
still be drawing
new meanings
from the still life
we look at
come with us
What are you thinking about today?
paradise
palm trees
in january
…
as we take
a look into
a world beyond
explanation
where only our
imagination
can show us
remember this
What are you looking forward to next year?
the backyard
sees more leaves
and less trees
…
don’t forget
the past
is the past
the present
is the present
the future
is the future
time and place
When and where will you go?
phone left
on the counter
with no help
…
when we hear
these words
are you wearing
a watch
or holding
a map to know
where to go?
just like magic
When was the last time you were amazed?
grilling onions
the pan hums
a sweet tune
…
there are times
when we find out
that the solution
to a problem
we didn’t know
we had appears
just like magic
