the gloaming
cool
dusk slips
into night
it is quiet
but for the leaves whispering in the breeze

…to a potted plant
you don’t need a lot
a bit of soil, water, light
root-bound in a small clay pot
wondrous neophyte
thriving in my cubicle outright
~kat

…to the rain
dark clouds brimming, burst
a cascade of droplets flow
sating a world that thirsts
sweetened breezes blow
tender shoots break ground in afterglow
~kat

how bright the earth shines
as dark of night gives
way to the dawning sun
every day a wee bit
longer than the last
~kat
