day 3098
the screen before me, 
its wonders were no match for 
the stars above me

Day 2591

Day 2591

down the hill from us –
the lake, lapping at the shore –
above, endless stars

Day 2557

Day 2557

walked across the lot –
through the night’s clouds, saw starlight –
knew things would be fine

Day 2470a/b

October 17, 2011
Day 2470a
against the twilight,
red antenna tower lights
and Orion’s belt
– – – – –
Day 2470b
the first and last thought
of every day is of her,
though we hardly talk

Day 2461

October 6, 2011
Day 2461
few other noises
besides my shoes on the path –
morning stars above

Day 2457a/b

October 2, 2011
Day 2457a
footprints through the frost
migrating geese overhead
an autumn trail-run
– – –
and, about 12 hours later…

Day 2457b
Gazing at the sky
I feel so small, and quite awed
by the night’s beauty.

day 1928/day 1927

August 16, 2009

day 1928
above the tree line,
nothing but stars and blackness;
made each step on faith

day 1927
my heart beat quickly,
things to do before other
things and then still more
