Earth turns to winter
Tree line falls; skyline rises
Fresh fallen asphalt
a silver-tongued brook
wheat field whispers in the wind
fingertips trace Braille.
morning without song
heart shaped leaves a deeper red
an autumn day dawns
Silver light fishes
Leaping sparks on the water
Cast down from the sun
snowflake minuet
white laden tranquility
nature's gift of peace
Interrogation
Tree echoes the woodpecker
Reverberation
I give no grumble
Hearing the thunder and rain
Thankful for this warmth
Dewy chilly morn,
Sun begins to warm the earth-
Horse whinnies hello.
Half a rabbit seen
by full moon. The unseen half?
Rabbit all the same.
Granite trail, steep climb
Soundless, as dying leaves fall
My heart beats walking
harvest moon beckons
spring tide crests aureate banks
brown leaves ride her wake
lemon-rhubarb hair
cascades as we pirouette
atop crimson leaves
October sunset
cold fog rises from the earth
among the tombstones
grey day tossing clouds
maple leaves spin across yards
motion absent change
snow laced window pane
cardinal perched on barren bough
winter solitude
House on deep water
drops fall, craters dot the earth
sand splashes upward.
Crows devil the sky
Torn old rags of sooty wings
Ghosts of Strathnaver
in memoriam
white roses among the red
garden gloves she wore
Summer humid haze
Cloaking the earth in white gauze
Of sleepy tumor
A tawny blanket
Undulating as the wind
Strokes the winter wheat
her letters reflect
the beating sun and flutter
thousands of miles, here
snow and cherry tree
snow falling on red round orbs
winter in the spring
Waxing and waning
the moon and I are the same
caught in ebb and flow
Far is the far shore,
Lines of which stretch farther still,
River between us.
Presto! A flower
song that makes you beautiful ?
wear my fingers raw.
Memory sinks teeth
marrow-aching agony
sharper bite than wind
the birch trees turn first
pale yellow among the green:
empty lifeguard chair
this year summer flames
washington wails with no tears
warm hot wind blows west
red roses in mud
pink sky dripping falling stars
sparrow shakes a worm
under a tree while
sun burns as on primal day
shadows dance with wind
fish beneath dark waves
thunderclouds invade the sky
you stay safe below
Frost binds to bare trees.
Bleak dew covers the morning.
A life forgotten.
Sunscreen and sea smell
Hot sand touches little toes
Baby's first beach day
Roiling sky above
Calm lagoon yields today's catch
Distant man watching
Japanese maple --
the garden Buddha's Bodhi
in late summer light
mountain alpenglow
addicted to sweet rosebuds
all dreams a treasure
