midnight
the taste of infinite street
food sampling
barefoot monks
the flow of amber incense
down temple walk
street carolling
a small hand touches
ornaments within reach
illegal logging
pygmy elephants emerge
from the rainforest
flowers in the shadows of sunset pebbles
winter field
🔸gentle breezein her wet tangled hairthe ocean smell
sea stacks
a roaring wave leaves
bubbles in the sand

a fly shares
her begging-bowl
autumn fieldscrystal blue lake reflectsblazing maple trees
table waitress
the folds of thousand cranes
new year greeting's card
big surprise in a small red packet
mountain peak
a cloudskirt
below me
straining at the label
near and far
old glasses
creek crossing
soft cushion saddles
the elephant carrier
two rivers meet
boats along
the city sidewalk
rice straw drying in rows of cones
harvest fields
lulling breeze
a mackerel tugs his line
spring clean🔸
an old box spills over
forgotten desires
break of dawn
the weight of seabass
changes hands
beauty pagent
swallows line the power cables
sheltered creek
the echoes of children's
laughter
ladybird
dewdrops reflect another
thermal updrafts
waves of raptors dim the midday sky
hiking backchildren read blue painton trail trees
that quiet moment
the lizard jumps
I jump
beach combing
one man's trash in
a dead fish
thousand sky lanterns
surf the autumn wind
mid autumn festival
silenced fields
the haunting smell
of tsunami retreat
babbling brook--
on the rock
