Simple Strokes

Lakeside retreat
Calm fresh air;
Nature for company

~~~~~~~~~


Each sunrise
Magic show unfurls;
Healthy awakening

~~~~~~~~~


By bamboo groves
Stray song birds sing;
Morning offering

~~~~~~~~~


Water ripples
Buzz of activity;
Fishes at play

~~~~~~~~~


Early morning sun
Gentle reminder;
Simple strokes sail

~~~~~~~~~


Sleepy eyes focus
Blurry at sunrise;
Stretching to awake

~~~~~~~~~


Window quartet
Wild canaries sing;
Song of long ago

~~~~~~~~~


Morning brisk walking
Fine tune heart movements;
Circle round the park

~~~~~~~~~


Stray birds dancing
Gossip on the lake;
Wild community

~~~~~~~~~


Lonely stray dog
Keeps pace with me;
Familiar intrusion

~~~~~~~~~


Brief moments
Wind on my back;
Thoughts that follow

~~~~~~~~~
