window view

little birds swim

in waves of breeze

now plunging into a dive

then up shrieking with laughter

.

schools of clouds sail

smooth and slow

their faint ripples

wetting edges of the mind

.

flowers bright yellow and red

dance deep below

smudging a little color

on dark shades of grey

.

little dragonflies hover

up above tiny buds

waiting for them to bubble up

and burst spraying lost memories

.

dusk climbs high up the watchtower

to caress my mind at the window

savoring sweet solitude

one little scoop after another
