Hibaku

A living fossil

with the heart of an old soul

wise beyond their years

Don't look back

Don't ever look back

you can't change a thing you did

just keep moving on

The white lady

A ghostly vision

or seasonal illusion

just self deception

Paper thin

Paper thin but still

withstanding all nature has

the resilient rose

Shadow play

What it's all about

playing with light and shadow

ah photography

Starlight

Starlight and moonbeams

fill the night sky with wonder

take a moonlight stroll

Rock climbing

Scaling new heights

with grit and determination

we climb to greatness

26.2

They're off and running

in search of fitness and praise

Run Phidippides

Longevity

Longevity can

be measured in many ways

seasons years eons

Weathered

Seasons change paint peels

flowers fade and go dormant

time to migrate south

Waiting patiently

Waiting patiently

hoping there will be no frost

the buds bide their time

A purple puzzle

A Gordian knot

seems to be intyractable

until you cut it

Rosebud

Innocence ending

when were you truly happy

that moment is gone

Season's end

As the season ends

flowers fade with a promise

to return next year

Why

Why does summer end

why do the days grow shorter

well it's just because

True friends

True friends are special

they should be treated with love

don't have friends be one

Mind the thorns

Walking a tightrope

can be very nerve-racking

mind the thorns
