A dog barks in the distance
carried on the still warm evening
breeze through my open window
the leaves of the katsura whisper
of water over stones
and thoughts washed clean
I lounge in cotton sheets
while indigo darkness absorbs
twinkling lives of distant neighbours
careful
hush now
and you will hear…
waves embracing shoreline
and the stirring of gentler things

Beautiful. I didn't realize what a poet you are!
ReplyDeleteI just received an email celebrating this poem… and wanted to share with you. Nightfall was chosen along with 8 others as a Jewel of the Week!
