Renhai Reflections: Into The Twilight

Into The Twilight
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Gillena Cox (gc)

sound of the church bell —
a ragged homeless man walks
away from the bench /gc

a remote railroad crossing — /vs
sweet smell of burnt sugar cane /gc

observation deck —
is that the flight I just missed
that's now taking off? /vs

Renhai Reflections: While You Were Sleeping

While You Were Sleeping
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & John Daleiden (jd)

soundly asleep —
effervescent bubbles
cleaning my dentures /jd

the rooster, a bit later /vs
a cup of steaming tea /jd

the morning news
from her iPad, the latest
on global tensions /vs

Renhai Reflections: A New Stirring

A New Stirring
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Gillena Cox (gc)

a starless dawn sky
in stillness of night's ending
the moon smiles brightly /gc

snowflakes on the mall walk /gc
a little one waves to Dad /vs

the sweet tinkle
of crystal glasses as we
toast the New Year /vs
