day’s end
on the lake ducks paddle
in sunset
day’s end
on the lake ducks paddle
in sunset
hiding above
the budding branches
spring starlight
silence now
yet still
the clock ticks
bedtime stories
the innocence of childhood
dreams
the scent
of warm chestnuts
lingering chill
sundown
shadows ripple
into dock
another long night
knowing
what I’d rather not
first anniversary
your crossword
still not finished
abandoned bookmark
all the pages
you’ll never finish
old desk
grandfather’s words
etched in the wood
