lovely clouds moved fast
above lace branches in bud
a dangerous sky

no sight of sunrise
no sound of the dawn breaking
no need to awake
no sound of the dawn breaking
no need to awake
Blush in low sunlight
Beetles exchange honeydew
With the tiny ants.
Beetles exchange honeydew
With the tiny ants.
The vast copper sky
Stony silence of the night
Shower astral light.
Stony silence of the night
Shower astral light.
Cold and moonless night:
stars pin up the black velvet
curtain hiding me.
stars pin up the black velvet
curtain hiding me.
up north?winter sun
skates across the frozen lakes
until spring sun comes
skates across the frozen lakes
until spring sun comes
surf embraces sand
rewinding the hour glass
waltzing with the moon
rewinding the hour glass
waltzing with the moon
Insects cloud the moon
Warm bodies in the rafters
Bat wings soft stutter
Warm bodies in the rafters
Bat wings soft stutter
Weighted in the sky
Atramentous Thunderhead
Reaching epoch mass

open window screen
patio pop tunes linger
slow twilight descends
patio pop tunes linger
slow twilight descends
the spring sun peeks in
bully wind chases it out
spring will arrive soon
bully wind chases it out
spring will arrive soon
on this bitter night
my frosted breath joins the clouds
covering the stars
my frosted breath joins the clouds
covering the stars
The sun and wind flash
neon fish upon the pond ?
cold swim, bright shining.
neon fish upon the pond ?
cold swim, bright shining.
storm-streaked evening
clouds forming in a gray sky
thunder playing drums
clouds forming in a gray sky
thunder playing drums
Lone gull on a sea
dons the sun and moon for wings
and soars forever
dons the sun and moon for wings
and soars forever
her midnight glamour -
diamonds on indigo sky
twinkle in her eyes
diamonds on indigo sky
twinkle in her eyes
spring light kisses her
brushed mauve and golden hues
bring her peace at dawn
brushed mauve and golden hues
bring her peace at dawn
chilling at sunrise
the sight of frost on sere leaves
the warmth of blankets
the sight of frost on sere leaves
the warmth of blankets
shadows dance on grass
escape from sunlight harshness
summertime retreat
escape from sunlight harshness
summertime retreat
Stillness of the dawn
where the lonely cry rings out
and the sun rises
where the lonely cry rings out
and the sun rises
one clear dancing pool
water full of moonlight sang
between dreaming leaves
water full of moonlight sang
between dreaming leaves
Sky full of clover:
a bouquet of red roses
one lonely tulip
a bouquet of red roses
one lonely tulip
Sunlight and spring rain
Fertilize the ground below...
Green is their offspring
Fertilize the ground below...
Green is their offspring
crimson in the dusk
waves wash over the seagrass
as a seagull cries
waves wash over the seagrass
as a seagull cries
Mountains of white clouds
painted by shadow and sun
Grand, but light as air
painted by shadow and sun
Grand, but light as air
His belt always guides
His grip tightens on the sky
In the dark, he shines
His grip tightens on the sky
In the dark, he shines
Dusk thirty and dark
kids returning home from play
tranquility lost
kids returning home from play
tranquility lost
Bolts of lightning flash
Celebration in the sky
Playing hide and seek
Celebration in the sky
Playing hide and seek
duel in the sun
the jaws of the evil truck
on the car's bumper
the jaws of the evil truck
on the car's bumper
Looking to the sky
In search of shapes and meanings -
In clouds, in our lives.
In search of shapes and meanings -
In clouds, in our lives.
white mountain ranges
rays emanate from behind
painting in the sky

Autumn sun casts light
On the silence of stories
Grandmothers creases.

Whenever you sing,
Robins mute their lilting speech?
Dawn weeps your absence.
Robins mute their lilting speech?
Dawn weeps your absence.
In the chilled moonlight
The veranda sits vacant
Dew drips from the eaves
The veranda sits vacant
Dew drips from the eaves
Ripples by the dock
sunfish peek up for bread crumbs
Sun shines on water
sunfish peek up for bread crumbs
Sun shines on water
on a seaside bench
my father joins his neighbour ?
autumn moon shows up
my father joins his neighbour ?
autumn moon shows up
