“Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” Mark Twain

Sunset in Phoenix – March 2016
Same time, new place
Unknown, familiar face
New is old, Old is new
Same ol’ sun
Escaping from view
Time to sleep

Japanese Friendship Garden – Phoenix, AZ March 2016
Minutes needed – only a few
Escape into a tranquil view
During the day’s hectic routine
Into a space calm and serene
Tea time’s available, if you care
And places to rest, benches to share
Take time beside the koi pond
Enjoy the quiet, momentarily found.

Fun with Shadows – Phoenix, AZ
Why look up when you could look down
At the assorted patterns
Touching the ground,
Captured by sunlight and
Held earthbound

Lucky to travel
Over land and by sea
Venturing to places unknown
Exploring the unseen.
Imagination fed, work now evaded
Touchdown back home – comfort made.
From the archives. Sometimes, seeking more downtime/breaktime like this is always the best.
Sometimes, the only thing needed is a moment of music in the streets to help the soul beat the worries.
