home from Italy

prone on the floor, my brother

bonding with our dog

1 January, 2022

ever thankful for

those mellow days when the air

itself breathes of love

January 1, 2022

this feeling of calm

I could sit here forever

in the morning light

1 January 2022

where did it come from

this butterfly in my room

‘twixt last year and this

1 January 2022

how quiet it is

the gentlest of breezes stirs

the most slender twigs

January 1, 2022

the morning breaks calm

pale blue and gold skies, a bird

sings in the new year
