Misty air whispers
in a forest full of dreams ?
love breathes through the trees

love breathes through the trees
White snow falls to Earth
Cardinal lands on tree branch
Fire among the ash

No snow to blanket
the shifting earth of my home.
My California

Sun-lit windows, each
a brief torch against the world
of nicks and splinters

First frost of the year
The lake steams in the morning
Geese are taking off

Geese are taking off
White crystal shrouded
Crisp beautiful blades of green
Gone with morning sun

Gone with morning sun
Moon rides on the waves
Night after night ritual
Walking in the sand
Night after night ritual
Walking in the sand
November's last glow
burning leaves swirl fragrant smoke
beauty and ashes
burning leaves swirl fragrant smoke
beauty and ashes
The trees bend with snow
While the wind seeks its own breath
Shadows blend the two
While the wind seeks its own breath
Shadows blend the two

As it lies amidst the sun
Dry in summer's end
As it lies amidst the sun
Dry in summer's end
A friend canceled plans
I eat lunch in the park, watching
Boaters on the lake.

snowflakes kiss your rosy cheeks

Sitting on the bench
I gave the lake my heartache
I didn't want one

I didn't want one
Orange iguana
Winds sway shaking trees aside
Trembling blue waters
Winds sway shaking trees aside
Trembling blue waters
Patterns in the sky
Ripples replace reflections
Stillness is silenced
Ripples replace reflections
Stillness is silenced
Wind whispering out
Wrapping itself all around
Encompassing us
Wrapping itself all around
Encompassing us
gold leaves seen through fog
embers dying in ashes
gulls soaring, crying
embers dying in ashes
gulls soaring, crying
sun's brilliant sparkle
turquoise blue ocean abounds
pelicans gliding
turquoise blue ocean abounds
pelicans gliding
Two trees in thick fog
When your secret lover dies
You might not be told
When your secret lover dies
You might not be told
Swimming in her eyes
Fearful of drowning slowly
She leaves me breathless
Fearful of drowning slowly
She leaves me breathless
Out of the vast marsh
plaintive grey curlew calling -
sister scolding me.

sister scolding me.
Floating through the sky
Red and yellow orange and blue
A hot air balloon.
Red and yellow orange and blue
A hot air balloon.

Bundled skaters weave designs
Hands hug warm cocoa

Hands hug warm cocoa
Alfalfa buds bloom
Purple in the morning sun
Winter arrives soon
Purple in the morning sun
Winter arrives soon

wind pushes far memories
old and rusted swing
wind pushes far memories
old and rusted swing
white bark of aspens
powdered with antler velvet-
autumn moon shadows
powdered with antler velvet-
autumn moon shadows
large pampas grasses,
plumes waving in the stiff wind ?
time to change the time
plumes waving in the stiff wind ?
time to change the time
And then the leaves Fell
ice carpets pale on the road
Silent flakes, time still
ice carpets pale on the road
Silent flakes, time still
