Tendrils of strong flame
Curl throughout an endless maze
Yet cower in rain.
Curl throughout an endless maze
Yet cower in rain.

Scent of earth and moss
Tiny buds on dormant trees
Bursting forth new life
Tiny buds on dormant trees
Bursting forth new life
nature limits man
mountains on the ocean floor
never to be scaled
mountains on the ocean floor
never to be scaled
awakened by waves
I watch the dawn?s silhouette
undressing the sun
I watch the dawn?s silhouette
undressing the sun
seedlings stretch their vines
flower buds blossom and yawn
spring has awakened
flower buds blossom and yawn
spring has awakened
From a distant tree
A curious pair of eyes
observes those who pass
A curious pair of eyes
observes those who pass
Love?s the strangest thing
petals made of ash and lace
break through cold, hard earth
petals made of ash and lace
break through cold, hard earth
The sea at midnight
Flecked by splinters of the moon
I unfurl the sail
Flecked by splinters of the moon
I unfurl the sail
Divorcing herself
the miller leaves her cocoon
for the distant light.
the miller leaves her cocoon
for the distant light.
forsythia bloom
in the old cemetery
solace of flowers
in the old cemetery
solace of flowers
a bumblebee blends
into a black-eyed Susan?
cloud-shaded hillside
into a black-eyed Susan?
cloud-shaded hillside
Snow-capped mountain peaks
Last vestiges of winter
Storing desert hope.
Last vestiges of winter
Storing desert hope.
Under the pale moon
Swerving between my two legs
Cat attempts murder
Swerving between my two legs
Cat attempts murder
wayward flock of geese
above abandoned farmhouse
plow unfallowed sky
above abandoned farmhouse
plow unfallowed sky
warm rain on snowdrops
i explain to the children
where the snowmen go
i explain to the children
where the snowmen go
salty ocean breeze
palm trees shadow sun-kissed skin
coconut heaven
palm trees shadow sun-kissed skin
coconut heaven
Littered with turquoise
Snowy castles cover Earth
A picture to frame
Snowy castles cover Earth
A picture to frame
soft breeze caresses
rosebush birthing infant buds
sun kisses sweet babes
rosebush birthing infant buds
sun kisses sweet babes
blue sky lying down -
tourists' selfies disturbing
the sound of the rain
tourists' selfies disturbing
the sound of the rain
painting wild flowers
blooms that can never be tamed
on land or canvas
blooms that can never be tamed
on land or canvas
Branches fight for sun
reaching skyward; mushrooms rest
on the forest floor.
reaching skyward; mushrooms rest
on the forest floor.
Sun pokes through the clouds
Casting water images
Reflections of you
Casting water images
Reflections of you
Happy, salient times
Golden rays of morning sun
Silver glow of dusk
Golden rays of morning sun
Silver glow of dusk
abandoned bird nests
perch on top of leafless trees
my bones feel the cold
perch on top of leafless trees
my bones feel the cold
Chirping spring peepers
Bullfrogs' deep guttural croaks
Silenced by the wind
Bullfrogs' deep guttural croaks
Silenced by the wind
Night drinks horizon
Ocean stirs moon's reflection
Shooting stars streak by
Ocean stirs moon's reflection
Shooting stars streak by
clear night sky bright moon
exposed mouse-hole in border
cat paw tracks on soil
exposed mouse-hole in border
cat paw tracks on soil
Shimmering droplets
Prism pearls upon green blades
Nature's refreshment
Prism pearls upon green blades
Nature's refreshment
The moon's silhouette
Fades away in the distance
Forgotten nightfall
Fades away in the distance
Forgotten nightfall
The artist brush drips
Silenced by nature's beauty
Oh, abandoned heart
Silenced by nature's beauty
Oh, abandoned heart
Rain is romantic
the umbrella moved aside
for the wettest kiss
the umbrella moved aside
for the wettest kiss
Winter melts away
Like a song lost in the wind
Birds come soaring home
Like a song lost in the wind
Birds come soaring home
black skies , scattered rain
a glimpse of my guilty heart
shrouded by darkness
a glimpse of my guilty heart
shrouded by darkness
Waves pummel the rocks,
sea spray sent to drown the sky.
Lightning burns through clouds.
sea spray sent to drown the sky.
Lightning burns through clouds.
An Osprey Feather
Gliding Above Silent Dunes
Freedom on the Wind
Gliding Above Silent Dunes
Freedom on the Wind
Winter still hangs on
Flowers bloom and quickly die
Confused birds take flight
Flowers bloom and quickly die
Confused birds take flight
