We all have them

Could be a sunny day

A drop of rain on glass

Watching someone stroll in silence

Any given moment drives our passion

Sweet

Silhouette

Sparkles

Each aspect of triggered memory

Remains in our mind

And allows new notions

Solace.

The rains fell hard in the afternoon

Sunlight peeking along the river

Water glistens

Striking in the moment of each cast

My soaking body felt oneness

Inside a dream

Imagining how God might design

A perfect day of fishing.

~

Stand in the center

Activity of mingling

Returns a feeling similar

Exposure in eyes

We all realize our lives connect

Only if we can breathe uninterrupted

The furtive glance

Suggests unique lives are reckoned

Step away or live

Gracious in His eyes.

~

A beautiful evening

A setting sun

Wisps of early rain dampen his

‘leaves of grass’

Feeling a Whitman moment

Only wishing life’s simple truths

Might make allowances

While recognizing Nature’s grasp

~

Return me to an earlier time in childhood

When that moment’s clarity brought few tears.
