Delicately Suspended

Hanging in mid air,
Delicately suspended,
A tiny brown leaf.










There's an agreement
Between the clouds and the sun
To breed a soft day.












Sometimes the shadows
Splashed upon the winding road
Soften the concrete.












Below the surface
A flat stone shivers softly
As the water flows.











Lightly on the fence
Spray of white and yellow blooms;
Some new and some old.


Lightly she walks,
Silver thinning hair shining;
Kissed by the sunlight.











Faint chime melody
Carried by the passing breeze
Dissolves quietly.

Small white butterfly
Floats higher toward the tree top
Melting into the clouds.
