Moment in the sun

A moment in the sun

enjoy it while you can

it is always fleeting

Love

In the late summer

stop and take time to enjoy

a fragrant red rose

too soon it will be replaced 

with nothing but cold gray days

Shy

A vibrant red zinnia

nestled deep within her leaves

shy and hiding from view

Wabi sabi

There is a sadness

when seasons come to an end

and the wait begins

through the bleakness of winter 

until the flowers return

Stop and go

Stop and go summer

on again then off again

what a fickle year

A spark

A spark is needed

to ignite every fire

a fire brigade

is needed to put it out

little things make a difference

Next gen

Next generation

will it meet expectations

or disappoint us

only time knows the answer

we have to just wait and see

Setting sun

With each setting sun

there is a certain sadness

another day gone

consigned to our memory

and perhaps never recalled

Thoughts of an absent friend

Cloudy summer days

are only temporary

show some stoicism

Summer clouds

Clouds may block the sun

but the sun always returns

sooner or later

Sun worship

Soaking up some rays

before summer is over

catch'em while you can

Style

Hair from the sixties

everyone needs blow drying

who is next in line

Summer heat

Standing in the shade

even the flowers are sweating

well it is summer

The portal

Enter a new world

quite different from whence we came

what change lies ahead

Standing together

is certainly harder now

what with social distancing
