1

muscles sore
from the long weekend . . .
mountains moved

2

balanced on one foot
running through the park
mind and body heal

3

silent forest path
leaves crunch beneath
wandering feet

4

baseball diamond's dust
crack of bat
thunderous cheer

5

one good stretch
another turn
Rice Krispies

6

Alt+Shift+K
the kill switch
sleep peacefully computer

7

Mom's gentle touch
braiding daughter's hair
the story of her life

8

white wedding dress
hidden in the closet
spring cleaning

9

looking into his eyes
falling
out of love

10

empty passenger seat 
sitting in silent memories 
on this road 

11

overtime win 
echoes through the campus halls 
I am trying to study

12

dining in silence
two strangers
married 30 years

13

candle burns slow
thoughts about
the days ahead

14

cold breeze in the air
your hug
keeps me warm

15

tassels right to left
people get jobs
friends forgotten

16

eating healthy
old t.v.
black and white

17

soft sounds
in your own world
nobody else hears . . .

18

the love of my life
her wedding
tomorrow

19

first snowfall
footprints disappear
in white snow

20

bubble gum gas
in the clouds
treasure chest goodies

21

distant tires screech
they're back again
double the trouble

22

the heart breaks
too late
pot boils over

23

evening fog
streetlights glowing
in the mist

24

lonely road
stray cat eyes shine
in headlights

25

walking 
no care in the world 
just peacefulness

26

night tune 
not as many are out 
but you can still hear them 

27

clock in, clock out
a never ending cycle
of sleepless nights

28

grass stained socks
ball at my feet
trying to make her proud 

29

wrapped in blankets
tired body
finally put to rest

30

workout 
ready to be done
can’t wait to see my friends

31

powerlifting
the weight of the world
on my back 

32

the hymn of the fan
Loud as can be
yet peaceful

33

new year
old friends
start to disappear

34

smooth jazz . . .
a fan spinning
my thoughts

35

coffee filter
an empty canvas
becoming full

36

morning run
one foot after the other
a  search for peace

37

tears fall
a dark room
only a small light

38

telling secrets
with a bottle of tequila
sitting on the floor

39

sandy footprints
washed away
my stress evaporates

40

legally blind
so little seen
so much felt

41

dessert dawn
a cactus flower opens
in stillness

42

brotherhood
late nights
life long memories

43

the dock creaks
face red with heat
sunrise

44

my best friend and I
drive around
screaming the song

45

in realms unknown
our glances cross paths
my pulse dances

46

a crowded room hums
familiar faces around
only one I know

47

blind date
at first sight
something feels right

48

latex gloves
on small hands
no pulse

49

candles in darkness
flickering with sacred light  
honored lives recalled

50

milk mustache
we laugh past
bedtime

51

sitting in silence
the noisy racket
of my heart

52

our relationship
the joke
no one laughing

53

nothing to wear
in a closet
full of skeletons

54

friendship love
a shoulder to cry on 
always unspoken
