A thin haze of fog
softens the morning sunrise
a cantaloupe sky
Rising from water
the sun's lance piercing the cloud
brings enlightenment
Threadbare branches mourn
vestments stolen by chill winds -
melancholy ghosts
mist coddling the peak
narrow path to the summit
blood between my toes
windfall cedar trunk
rolled smooth in rain forest moss
decays evergreen
Lotus Peak Shimmers
A veil of misty showers
Cloud Edo's white dream
Luminous dust cloud
New moon over ripe cherries
Memories dry out
Wind drags across time
pulling at leaves and false teeth
I can barely smile
Hail you, full of grace
Do you sense blessings divine?
Stone drips on water.
black crow flaps its wings
suspended on a wind gust
blotting out the sun
The darkening sky
softly exhales its last wish
early autumn rain
hazed mist of morning
kingfisher iridescent~
sticklebacks beware
stooping among dunes
camels gleaning green stubble
after desert rain
morning summer breeze
a concentric draft ascends
white oak leaves tremble
The sounds puddles make -
face down, tearing into clouds,
reflecting calm skies.
The master inscribes.
The past, reborn, signs the page:
Footprints melt the snow.
The spring wind dances
Through the pines dislodging cones.
The earth glows and swells.
a sly red fox hides
under the magnolia ?
patches of old snow
Against my window
rain taps veiled time signatures
ebbing me to sleep.
walking clasping hands
twilight trail circles the lake
fog oroboros
I make two wishes
the sign of a better day
a double rainbow
Wheat stubble in snow
Interrupts a field of white
Nature needs a shave
A weak winter sun
Vainly struggles to burn through
Winter's icy fog
the last dregs of snow
live and die by the Sun's glance-
feeding daffodils
The first green of spring
protruding from snow and soil-
presents from the Sun
wind of change blowing
ruffling feathers, teasing wings
the fates are spinning
this curtained darkness
something about the silence-
overnight snow drifts
Fresh, gentle, Spring breeze
Tides of tears roll out to sea
A new beginning
Leopards hunt silent
the breeze carries leaves gone by
the Fox dies alone
snow fallen branches
sway in a cold breeze, feathers
ruffle in a nest
Winter. Old fence felled
by wind rests against an elm
growing bright new moss
cerulean cry
winter claims her bare canvas
gusts of northern winds
Black birds on the road
Cautious snow flakes, lazy winds
No traffic at all
Nebulous shadows
Of moonlight slowly swaying
To a gentle breeze
Boat waits patiently
Sail and sailor expectant
Not a breath of wind.
Yellow leaves like rain
a cold north wind swirls, briefly
they rise once again
