Three thoughts, from the archives

#1
A cloudy morning
is coffee without scent,
chocolate without sugar,
or music without melody.
A foggy morning, though,
is the lid on the teapot--
so that the scent is stronger,
the sweet is richer,
and the rhythm smoother.

#2
Did you know
that sun-dried tomatoes
are made without sun?
Pity that;
I am sure they miss the experience,
but at least they can still be enjoyed
when the lights flicker on.

#3
The dawn and I would get along better
if we saw one another less,
and yet she is the most beautiful
of all the beings I know.
