Once Upon a Sunbeam

fluffy dust motes floating by
i closed my eyes to wonder why

i do not see them in the night
although i try with all my might

where do they go when sun goes down
to rest somewhere or into town

they bounce and float on sunny days
then disappear when days turn gray

i’ll set a trap, that’s what i’ll do
put on a glove covered with glue

but they’re more clever than i thought
a bunch of cat fur’s all i caught

Day four of the Nov PAD at Poetic Asides

freshly washed leaves
flutter in the summer breeze
day after the storm

——–
cool autumn morning
sun appears to warm the field
gray fog surrenders

Day two prompt “surrenders”

Voices of Praise

I sit at the edge of this field in the shadow of a church steeple. The voices of the faithful flow from open windows and I can imagine each head bowed in humble supplication. Their knees bent adoringly as dim candle light flickers from brass sconces.
I raise my face to the sun and with a choir of sparrows worship in the light of creation.

under the bright sun
all of creation sings praise
voices joined in glee
