Daily Examen, Friday, July 28, 2017
The day goes by too quickly
with only brief moments
to savor
a passing cloud
on a warm summer day,
the smile
of a friend facing hard times,
until the news hits hard
in the middle of the afternoon
that a friend
has lost his battle
with cancer.

Daily Examen, Saturday, July 29, 2017

Even early in the morning
facing a long day
there are glimmers
of great beauty
as red clouds in the morning
reflect off of lake
beside a long road.

Daily Examen, Sunday, July 30, 2017

The sunlight pours
through stained glass windows
on summertime guests.
People on difficult journeys
reflect
on the hopes of others
also on difficult journeys
and all will be well.
