Anxiety lurks

In shadows waiting to pounce –

Unsuspecting prey

Keeping the wide blue ocean
And me company

Night Sounds

Crickets chirp below
As a plane crosses the clouds
Purring as it goes

Teddy Bears

(I)
A little girl reads
Worn out teddy bear is facing my direction

A little girl reads
Abandoned teddy bears lie strewn on the cold floor

I’ve Got Mail

If I had to choose
Between your words or writing
I would choose reading

To receive letters
Or to write is no hard choice –
Because I love mail!
