Rising sun sticks to
Tip of the tongue in the dark
my hands did shiver
karmic waters flow
journeys of the earth within
vibrations tremble.
leaves and clouds flying
sky wrestles with a sapling
smooth limbs sway entwined
Bronzed wings flap flutter
Above feeder bird hovers
Beak dips fast in out
exploding acorns
amid the slow-burning leaves
celebrate autumn
golden sunlight shards
pierce the silent forest floor
doe and fawn listen
Sun's sanguine tendrils
Gently caress morning clouds
A promise of rain
October grey skies
on the petals of flowers
raindrops pattering
women in saris
sitting silently by lake
colorful contrast
adrift in slumber
taken to the sea; blue-skies
waves crash against rocks
Storm clouds full of rain
Lightning splits a darkened sky
Blooms sprout from wet soil
wild backyard mint leaf
floats in glass of cold ice-tea
ambrosial bliss
the old garden bench
where no one sits anymore . . .
a chill in the air
rain runs under stones
chills the almost ripe garden
pleats the evening air
weathered flower box
hydrangea's delicate fade
summer's acquiesce
lunar crescents glow
lighting nearby placid pond
skinny dippers splash
Wild rosebush planted
near weather-beaten prison
springs forth scarlet hope
The syzygy line,
a confluence of forces.
Sun, Moon, Earth, Water.
Enraging flames shine
Igniting the vast forest
Fall is in full swing
wild grass at sunset
shimmering with insect wings
warm breeze on hilltop
razor morning sun
severs horizon from sky,
daybreak from twilight
a distant lake shore
drinks the last drop of sunset...
Pisces on the rise
Defiant gerbers
canvas of vibrant colors
festoon the garden
He is an old shirt
worn and faded, a dry leaf
before winter winds
She paraded through
the orange groves and smelled
like heaven on earth.
laughter fills the pool
sunshine strikes the snow shovel
buried in tall grass
left leaves cry and cling
to barren swaying branches
wind whispers be free
Fall softly spring rain
my grandmother's lips are dry
awaiting the bloom
blackbirds on asphalt
scar the frost for frozen crumbs?
wind song stirring trees
fine white china smashed
scattered along the shore line
sea shell collection
mercurial bird
dives into honeysuckle...
perfume beads scatter
midwinter south beach
wind-driven sand moon-pulled waves
each dog bows then plays
The storm is brewing
Darkly in the western sky.
Now, time to be brave.
pink wild rose blossoms
lone traveler along road
bee bathes in pollen
Moon in the window
Whispers turn to city fog
Hear the world, kiss me
Tobacco ash falls
Addicts blow up at the sky
Smoke break in rehab
