"beneath my palm"

 

"beneath my palm"

 

Morning lake
pale light slides along the water,
loons calling from the reed‑shadows.

 

Bare feet in the grass,
dew gathers at my ankles,
a hawk wheels over fields greening at the edges.

 

Camp‑smoke drifting through pine,
bees thicken in the honeysuckle,
a single door slams far off.

 

Maples lift into breeze,
leaf‑shadows shifting across my hands,
I take it into me without hurry.

 

Fence line pools with moonlight,

crickets split the dark,
the earth holds the day’s warmth beneath my palm.

Some pieces feel like sitting

Some pieces feel like sitting down with an old friend; unhurried, familiar, and quietly full of wonder. This one is perhaps soft edges and clear moments, the kind you tuck away to remember on a long afternoon. We don’t need to rush; just settle in and let it unfold at its own easy pace.
