He watched quiet

a dog running

safely sequestered

in a dog park.

~

Look at the gentle sky

outside his window.

Sunlight crystal crossing snow,

he does breathe.

~

Last night candles

brought a peace

an unanticipated

trip into seclusion.

~

Stood inside

a garrison

of afterthought

wondering what now.

~

An opportunity knocking

take advantage and run.

The benefit of self

exploring new diamonds.
