angry storm clouds hammering rain smothers frothing sea drowns hope of escape ©️2023 jai gogyohka
sad ashes scattered
upon placid lake’s waters
soul sinks into peace

naked, yet proud

…life’s game

at height of summer near a seldom-traveled road house sprawls lazily lulled by feasting, buzzing bees… wildflower banquet ©️2023 jai tanka
fog creeps with darkness
permeates sleeping backyard
wakes winter morning
