Three Poems

        Observation

        drifting
        on the water
        the fog billows and swirls
        as though being stirred by a hand
        unseen

        Ephemeral

        fragile
        with days numbered
        she speaks of olden days
        and tells stories of past glories
        this rose


        Passage

        today
        the cherry tree
        that rained petals of white
        is now raining leaves of yellow
        and gold
