Espresso by the sea
A good day ahead

Couch sleeping
Buying costly coffee
Fire maples

Feisty Bluejay
Cornflower free sky

Hopeful blossoms
Wild blue sky
Try not to unravel
Soft candlelight

Afternoon sun
Feeling like a tilted world
Tequila

Afternoon sun
Feeling like a tilted world
Tequila
Through it all
Tomato sandwiches
Let me go back

Moonlight Shores
The possibilities
To open up to
No more hiding
A shift in my paradigm
Dust begins to clear

Second chances
Rust rose rain
A story to tell
