Sun rises over

with pale blue ocean. Sun tries

as we recounted

we’ve been friends,
and as times have changed
so have we, but

is our gratitude for
the chance to walk
life’s twisting path together.

Standing Tall
That raven made it
absolutely clear. He has

and he is more than willing

make their way across the lawn
lowering their heads
to snatch a morsel or two
of grass, the sun stokes their backs..

sanctuary and,
for the most part, are able
to live together in peace.

It’s a cover-up,
those clouds blocking the sun, but
things will come to light.
