Twilight cools the earth
wind chimes tremble and shimmer
a new moon rises.
Low tide on the breeze
Sun inches up with promise
Salt troubles old wounds
Carpet of fresh snow
stretches unblemished on lawn
awaiting footprints
cricket in my wall
safe from freezing rain and wind
calling for a friend
Downhill ride, so chill.
Light breezes brushing my face,
calming my last nerve.
rain-filled clouds push in
blanketing a fiery sun.
unquenched light cascades...
Thunder in the sun
Ice berg in the desert sand
Autumn in the air
Silver raindrop hangs
Sun-kissed, it falls to the wind
Carried down to earth
after last night's storm
my neighbor's old trampoline
slanted, still standing
Crows on the bleachers
Breeze blows clouds across the track
We're moving on soon
The wind wakes up life
Captured in a white bone cage
In the wake of death
moonlight on crisp snow
one year gone, one rolling in
rocking, changing life
let the sunlight stream
through your hair just like the wind
through the trees in Spring
Youth-endowing snow
All earthly wrinkles smoothing
Turning adult child
hardy dogwood stems
appear, jutting through the snow,
awaiting springtide
when I am confused.
even the wind can't decide
go east or head south
Waterfalls drizzle
Gentle waves rock the surface
A cave rests behind
leaf-rot is fading
air now tastes of light and snow
on new hunting grounds
Across the city
the distant snow capped mountains
echoes of winter
Gray skies and cold times,
The rain and wind will collide,
Sad lives and good-byes.
sunlight slants through clouds
bright patch of sunshine wanders
among wildflowers
first a grain of sand
tumbles down the wind swept dunes
hitches out of town
cool wind on my arms
breezes caressing my hair
fall flirting again
Dreaming of summer
Clouds bring the bite of winter
Ice cold kitten toes
in dreams through the sash
snow tires and a clink of chain
transport me away
cumulus clouds stalk
lupine's sun soaking petals
summer memory
clouds on the mountain
watching from my cottage door
I grip my teacup
limbs shed yellow leaves
dropping and shooting in wind
stars sit on sidewalks
pair of owls night-dance
enfolding the balsam pine
snow embroidery
Tutus swirl on high
A pas de deaux unfolding
clouds embrace sunlight
Hoofprints in the snow
Filling with the windblown flakes
Disappearing now
broken wing sparrow
flopping low along sidewalk-
green leaf in the wind
Early morning sun
Gently emerging through fog
Calls, arise sweet earth
Furious wind chimes
Driven by the careless wind
Bang out their protest.
a tired rasp of leaf -
cold gust scattering blackbirds
into early night
Clear sky, a chill breeze
Daffodils nodding sagely
Spring is a false dawn
