1

door swings open
fresh flowers
greeted with a smile

2

coffee's warm embrace
keyboard taps
in my own space

3

empty highway
music plays softly
a tear falls

4

years of suffering
for seconds of joy
coach puts him in

5

the brightest in the room
full of joy
words said at his funeral

6

under stadium lights
huddled whispers, sudden plans
the roar of the crowd

7

a crowded room
distractions everywhere
but not you

8

soft kiss
a cold breeze
all a dream

9

a cold night
fire stops
crickets chirp

10

crystal blue pool
a child laughs
splashes all around

11

five page essay
due in the morning
I lose sleep

12

hands joined at sunset
silent strength in unity
family’s quiet bond

13

boxes on the floor
no more room left in the van
what do I do now?

14

take the meds
ice the head
still in pain

15

phone call with a friend
hours feel
like minutes

16

feeling alone
home away from
home

17

the sound of crashing waves
held in a shell
on the shore

18

red light
some stop
others continue on

19

a grand ballroom
full of laughter and music
the man stands alone

20

new build neighborhood
an old house being torn down
memories destroyed

21

hot summer day
a gleam of light reflects off
blue river water

22

tan skin, wet hair
I never want summer nights
to end

23

old friends drinking beers
I thought I would never miss
high school

24

busy day
boarding the busses
bumpy road ahead

25

swiping left
and right
longing for love

26

flashing lights
out of breath
and out of the woods

27

no attention being paid 
zoning in and out 
your very own world

28

birds softly sing
waves crash
swimsuit has dried

29

clean shoes
hit with mud
the experience gained

30

crickets fill the air
stars so bright filling
the night sky

31

endless tasks, emails,
clock hands crawl, the day expands,
dreams of weekend's breeze

32

winds whisper
the kettle whistles
batter in a pan

33

sun set low
light turns to dark
end of day
