Train rides

Chicago — View from a CTA train, Chicago.

Raindrops on windows

riding long hours on wrong routes

traveller’s love life

Follow

Lighthouses on the Magnificient Mile, Chicago — Magnificent Mile, Chicago

Take what path you may

and a beacon guides your way

which, let your heart say

Bloom

Lake Merrit, Oakland

A vast blooming dale

sans awe, for all eyes elsewhere

sales on Bloomingdale’s

Unpredictable

Lapping at the feet

loving sea, goes overhead

changing as the dog

Lifecycle

Laurie Garden, Millennium Park, Chicago

Falls may seem to choke

as rain from dying petals

yet life blooms again
