More allowing
—or is it noticing—
through:
through-ness of the world

me into the life swirling around me
for this moment this day
tomorrow discover, note, again
the shadow whispers as it passes

vista widens to panorama
so: as life span ahead shortens

:- Doug.

soft as whispering April rain
clear as a July thunder crash

:- Doug.

Stretch your powers
from unimagined to contraries

:- Doug.

Catch sunsets
As they wheel by
