cicada song …

the moments we take

for granted

How many shadows

can we hide within?

    Yup–we do became narrowly focused at times. How many times have you left home on a drive, and suddenly see/notice something for the first time? That always amazes me.

    Short, sweet and guided by punctuation, Frank, and I love the cicada song and the thought of hiding in shadows.

    Such an elegant summation of life. We do so often hide from each other in the shadows.
