Ideology

Old fruit tree By front porch; July harvest ~~~~~~~~~ A dear friend visits Chat over old times; Feeling young again ~~~~~~~~~ Scary dream last night Unhappy endings; Morning aftershock ~~~~~~~~~ Jigsaw puzzle pieces Mickey and company; Difficult fit ~~~~~~~~~ Morning ritual Early wake-up call; Drowsy awakening ~~~~~~~~~ So much stuff Too much nonsense; Not much else ~~~~~~~~~ Temple visit Prayers for the dead; Ancestral tablets ~~~~~~~~~ Sunday church Sermon on the Mount; Lovely echoes ~~~~~~~~~ Morning papers Another beheading; Modern barbarism ~~~~~~~~~ Sadly we mourn Your sudden passing; Think upon old days ~~~~~~~~~ Familiar faces From another life; Nondescript ~~~~~~~~~ Troubling times Conflicts and chaos; Empires of the mind ~~~~~~~~~ Dying is easy Living feels hard; So much suffering ~~~~~~~~~ Close encounters Death and taxes; In-between distractions ~~~~~~~~~ Early songbird 20th floor Sweet lullabies cooing; Pleasant surprise ~~~~~~~~~ Joy in the morning Savvy sunburst; Light on my face ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 09 February 2015 Singapore
