first step
onto conductors platform
home
(for my daughter, Pamela)


in my yard
sunlight and shadows
faeries dance with joy

spring morning
sunlight on crystals
rainbows dance


oranges yellows
blues pinks purples greens
rainbow flowers in my yard


dogs racing out the door
chasing down the hill
squirrel long gone
