  1. long walks
    our gossips end before
    we reach home

    mirage
    the orphan loved to live
    in surreal images

    sunrise
    the colours change in
    her brush strokes

  3. northbound butterflies-
    on crunchy golden leaves
    grandpa’s slow steps

    a cuckoo feather
    among falling leaves-
    shades of autumn

  9. .
    where the tide
    meets a stream
    an eagle’s roaming eye
    .
    seal pups basking
    the images filled
    with splintering light
    .
    paws slap
    against the edges
    salmon crossing
    .

  10. monsoon rains
    over the paddy fields
    a flight of dragonflies

    change of season –
    sliding through the stillness
    a harvest moon

    autumn equinox –
    beaten to the tape
    by my shadow
