(mostly) short poems on life and love

when it is time

June 29, 2022 by Michael Guerin

i cross a foot bridge.
worn wooden slats creak
beneath my feet.
the pond’s mirrored surface
dotted with water lilies
in full bloom
wave at dragonflies
which pass
from flower to flower
as if saying goodbye,
their gossamer wings
reflecting tiny
orbs of golden
sunlight.

Inspired by Dong Li’s poem, “when it is time”
