Wrens gliding on wind
Robins nesting on their eggs
Spring is in the air.

flowers grow at night
petals fall from roses black
spring in never land

Cats laze in the sun.
A man pets them, forgetting
he has allergies.

Red breasted robin
calls in snow fallen garden
rotten apple waits

Thick rain falls to sand
Ocean waves snap by red cliffs
Fire light lines the shore.
Ocean waves snap by red cliffs
Fire light lines the shore.
I hear the forest
whisper in the springtime rain
the secrets of life.

black-cheeked gale exhales
storm clouds stolen from the sea
deceitful woman

The cool spring sun shines
Giving me a piece of light
And I think of you
Giving me a piece of light
And I think of you
Rain touches my eyes
Darkened sky covers my doubts
Empty feels my love
Darkened sky covers my doubts
Empty feels my love
we left the ocean
a few million years ago
and long to return
a few million years ago
and long to return
A blue sky blushes
Yellow light climbs the mountain
Spring water flows by.
Yellow light climbs the mountain
Spring water flows by.
A wind snags autumn
And flings it through barren trees
Suddenly, winter
And flings it through barren trees
Suddenly, winter
Spring bird sings freely
For nature's food, it takes wing
The summer cat waits
For nature's food, it takes wing
The summer cat waits
deer browse forest edge
turkeys strut among the oaks
life rests ? time breathes deep

life rests ? time breathes deep
dotted moon circled-
silent gaze blinded by breath
when I call to you.

when I call to you.
Shorn of foliage
Standing secluded and sad
Trees show signs of age

Trees show signs of age
Meditate on fate
Leaves going steady with winds
Over a blind date

Over a blind date
Snow's bright elegance
resolves a barren landscape
until it dissolves

until it dissolves
Mountain storm passes
His heart flies north seeking it
His only sorrow
His heart flies north seeking it
His only sorrow
apple on the ground
under the spent tree; stem leads
to its cracked, dry seeds.

to its cracked, dry seeds.
Frankly, primroses
simply lack the ambition
to lead the garden.

mermaid swims the sea
where pirates hear her calling
from the depth of dreams

from the depth of dreams
Like a splash of ink
Black against the parchment sky
The raven flies past.

cat sleeping in sun
soft fur slicked with blood of prey
sweet feral dreaming

A drop of sunshine
falls from the weeping sun down
to the dying earth

to the dying earth
Red leaves blow across
Iron bars and plastic swings
Falling into cries

Falling into cries
Eros Hotel, where
your whistling became bird songs
outside our window.

A line of pine trees
bends in another blizzard,
wide boughs low with snow.

wide boughs low with snow.
A tall oak tree sighs
The roots lap up rain water
Gentle leaves fall free.

Gentle leaves fall free.
A lone killdeer's laugh
Shatters fall's orange-gray night sky
Letting cold seep in
Shatters fall's orange-gray night sky
Letting cold seep in
Trees each take their turn
To cover the ground's bareness
Its comforting quilt
To cover the ground's bareness
Its comforting quilt
Leaves lose their lushness
Loosening their lustrous hold
Prey to fall's fierce winds
Loosening their lustrous hold
Prey to fall's fierce winds
Life spills and scatters
Each atom cast from a blast
Like suffering snow
Each atom cast from a blast
Like suffering snow
quiet early night
cicadas start to chatter
falling out of trees
cicadas start to chatter
falling out of trees
Hellebore petals,
weighed by snow, flurried in red
off a bleeding branch.
