The Sun

The sun hangs high, a golden blaze,
Filling the sky with unblinking gaze.
It watches over the land, fierce and bold,
Turning the ground to burnished gold.

Each leaf withers in its burning glare,
As shadows shrink, nowhere to spare.
The sun, a ruler, fierce and bright,
Holds the day in endless light.

  • You

    Meeting you is like spring water reflecting pear blossoms,  
    Seeing you is like the chirping of cicadas accompanying the summer,  
    Thinking of you is like a thousand arrows piercing my heart,  

  • Stupidity

    Some people vote, but never think,  
    Their choices shallow, quick to sink.  
    They cheer and boast, with voices loud,  
    But wisdom’s lost inside the crowd.  

  • Ish

    Not quite,  
    but close.  
    A shade off,  
    a soft blur,  

    Almost there,  
    but waiting,  
    somewhere between  
    yes and maybe.
