Sat down, couldn't sing

"it is well with my soul" was

her favorite song

Students on the roof
the moon hidden behind clouds
is it that bright spot?

--composed 20 September

Useless layabout
in the sun my only task
watch the horizon

The air has a bite

the world ablaze with color

soon all will be white

-composed today by Leah Garhovd in Oslo, Norway

Hard-working cricket
chirps alone as usual
we only have one

--composed 10 Sep 2013

Evening fog rolls in
as we bounce on trampoline
summer heat over

composed 8 Sep 2013

Green canyon rises
crowded with conical firs
stretching toward sun

Bricks, concrete, streetlights
wild mountains look down on me
I return their gaze

composed 18 March 2009 in Boulder, CO

Tilted slabs of stone
bask in the sun, while above
ice patches glisten
