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

~~~~~~~~~
