Buffalo soldiers
Apache feathered spirits
war within a breath
Johnson and Nixon
Kissinger on my TV
smoke over Da Nang
Chinese raid Taiwan
UN emergency meet
calm before the storm

walking in Salzburg
Wolfgang Amadè Mozart
distant violin
an old piano
broken keys and tangled wire
good wine, sweet music

Quiet in trenches
Orders followed, carnage left
Shadows of the dead
In sunflower field
An abandoned violin
Refugees fleeing
Born for the combat
Blasts of gun fire, fierce ambush
Tin soldiers at war

~~~~~
a bird sang sweetly
despite the city chaos
nature will survive
~~~~~
a single raindrop
disturbed the glistening pond
then reflections danced
~~~~~
a sudden shower
the adults ran for shelter
children love puddles
~~~~~

Love's procession high
the carnival train returns
turning of the wheel
Sketching in the dust
mountains and rivers abound
two birds on a stone
Meadows in the spring
a golden hour of blossom
fragrance on the wind
