warm saffron

his gaze lingers

on my dress

sunset

the thinning veil

of our worlds

midday hike

our brief journey

on the same path

500-year-old tree

now I know

how the ant feels

foggy cliff

I step into

the unknown

rustling petals

thank you for the reminder

 to breathe

morning kayak trip

we discuss mother's illness

in deeper water

driving home

the one sycamore

I never noticed

shifting priorities

my harp

collecting dust
