frozen lake melting
a flock of ducks steps into
the sun's reflection

O lake, may I float
Across your bright satin skin
Pull oars and glide, glide ?

Pull oars and glide, glide ?
Rain falls like shiny
silver coins from the awning,
tapping on the lawn.

the winter sunset
swims in a warm blue ocean
life left on the beach
swims in a warm blue ocean
life left on the beach
spring lasted three days
chill winds blew--first rain then snow
winter's last revenge
chill winds blew--first rain then snow
winter's last revenge
stormy spring weather
I saw your tears glistening
even through the rain
I saw your tears glistening
even through the rain
waking in a daze
a wasp's morning alarm clock
the cold spring raindrop
a wasp's morning alarm clock
the cold spring raindrop
boardwalk of turtles
amble seaside at sun's surge
current sweeps a kiss
amble seaside at sun's surge
current sweeps a kiss
A kaleidoscope
Changing, shifting, always new
A sunset at sea
Changing, shifting, always new
A sunset at sea
On golden sand beach
epic cliffs crumbling pillars
prudence shall prevail

prudence shall prevail
Emotion Mirrored
Water Punctuating Flow
Caught in Reflection

The beautiful clam
he left on the beach was one
more unknown future
he left on the beach was one
more unknown future
water sustains life
all around the planet as
a hurricane strikes
all around the planet as
a hurricane strikes
meadow's warm wind swirls
tall grass is a stormy sea
white tipped flowers wave
tall grass is a stormy sea
white tipped flowers wave
Bending trees sing a
song of melancholy on
the river's cold bank.

the river's cold bank.
Bold goldfish shine like
New copper pennies swimming
In waves of sunlight
New copper pennies swimming
In waves of sunlight
the sky grows two stars
seven pelicans fly by
low, over the sea
seven pelicans fly by
low, over the sea
On the coldest eve
above the bay's shingle shore
Venus was rising
above the bay's shingle shore
Venus was rising
your red umbrella
hope there's no rain tomorrow
we kissed, you forgot
hope there's no rain tomorrow
we kissed, you forgot
The water-fall laughed,
chuckling o'er the stones below-
by the bridge, straight-faced.

by the bridge, straight-faced.
I touch desert sands
and hold your seas in my hands
My God's holy lands
and hold your seas in my hands
My God's holy lands
tendrils of sun rays
turn the lake a whiskey gold
flash of amber eyes
turn the lake a whiskey gold
flash of amber eyes
Advancing in line
Impacts of artillery
Rain on dusty soil
Impacts of artillery
Rain on dusty soil
Glowing summer moon
Reflects across the water
A fishing raccoon
Reflects across the water
A fishing raccoon
A nostalgic wave
as you turn your back in hope
I will follow you
as you turn your back in hope
I will follow you
walking on the beach
I reached out to take your hand
before the dream crashed
I reached out to take your hand
before the dream crashed
Birds to feeder flock.
Like fine rain to earth seeds fall.
Hunger pays no heed.
Like fine rain to earth seeds fall.
Hunger pays no heed.
swift rain blurs blossoms
down my black silk cheongsam
drying on clothes line

drying on clothes line
illinois city
shrugs its shoulders, taxes me
for pure spring water
shrugs its shoulders, taxes me
for pure spring water
one day spring appears--
dirt, sun, rain, the tilt of Earth--
it lives beyond words
dirt, sun, rain, the tilt of Earth--
it lives beyond words
the red hound glares sharp
across the frozen river
coyote grins back
across the frozen river
coyote grins back
long lost relative
sister seal swims on her side
heartbeat of the sea
sister seal swims on her side
heartbeat of the sea
A Cloud of blood swirls
In a cup of hot water
Bug in my body
In a cup of hot water
Bug in my body
Winter willow waves
opaled arms, bearing weight, white
of innocent snow.
opaled arms, bearing weight, white
of innocent snow.
Snow falls on lake's shore.
Winter fingers work magic,
turn water to ice.
Winter fingers work magic,
turn water to ice.
