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
~~~~~~~~~
