Heavy clouds spit rain
strong winds creating havoc

Cactus garden blooms
Thorny greens, yellow wonders
Willy-Nilly charm
Thorny greens, yellow wonders

The dewy grass glints
Sun's radiant rosy touch
As dawn awakens
Sun's radiant rosy touch
As dawn awakens
thunderstorm brewing
rain tapping at my window
the tea kettle hums
rain tapping at my window
the tea kettle hums
Sudden gusts of wind
Portend a Summer downpour
Lightning splits an oak
Portend a Summer downpour
Lightning splits an oak
unfamiliar sun
neighbors chat about roses
new warmth on our skin
neighbors chat about roses
new warmth on our skin
The orchids dazzle,
beauty stealing air and sun--
some unknown painter
beauty stealing air and sun--
some unknown painter
Muggy summer air
Any thought of breeze is stalled
Trees dream of swaying
Any thought of breeze is stalled
Trees dream of swaying
wild honeysuckle
entice butterflies and bees
on pasture fences
entice butterflies and bees
on pasture fences
Purple flowers bloom,
The moon watches them at night,
Moonlight keeps them safe.
The moon watches them at night,
Moonlight keeps them safe.
Snow falls on Mt. Hope
In the mirror the old face
Looking back is me.
In the mirror the old face
Looking back is me.
Brown curls wild and free
he roars under the hot sun,
king of the playground.
he roars under the hot sun,
king of the playground.
morning fog retreats
leaves behind sparkling jewels
on the cobweb strands
leaves behind sparkling jewels
on the cobweb strands
leaf bud and blossom
the pulse of living returns
thought word and action
the pulse of living returns
thought word and action
Spring rains beat the ground
As flowers escape through cracks
In their asphalt tombs.
As flowers escape through cracks
In their asphalt tombs.
the clouds move one way
and the leaves in another
family picnic
and the leaves in another
family picnic
petrichor at dawn...
waving from the puddled earth
soft caecilians
waving from the puddled earth
soft caecilians
The woodpecker drums
On the aging maple tree
A long lost message?
On the aging maple tree
A long lost message?
mercy is reserved
for those who have kept their life -
sulking snow at dusk
for those who have kept their life -
sulking snow at dusk
the smell of chestnuts
roasting - on the cool sea mist
assaults my senses
roasting - on the cool sea mist
assaults my senses
burning horizons
shooting stars, electric rain
- cretaceous magic
shooting stars, electric rain
- cretaceous magic
A flag in the wind,
Half mast for dead soldiers still
Singing battle hymns
Half mast for dead soldiers still
Singing battle hymns
To see holiness
Shining through each poor moment
Brings heaven to earth
Shining through each poor moment
Brings heaven to earth
Only the wind knows
Blowing through leaves and branches
Passages of time
Blowing through leaves and branches
Passages of time
Breathless leaves curling
stolen from the bending bough
no time for goodbye
stolen from the bending bough
no time for goodbye
Enchanted nightfall
Starlit sky and crescent moon
Too dreamy for sleep
Starlit sky and crescent moon
Too dreamy for sleep
A budding flower
Born of callous sunlight's eye
Bearing august fruit
Born of callous sunlight's eye
Bearing august fruit
grove of fallen trees
blackened roots curl towards the sky
seeking permanence
blackened roots curl towards the sky
seeking permanence
Turquoise feathers glint
Contemplating their kingdom
Jewels of the Lake
Contemplating their kingdom
Jewels of the Lake
Unwritten thoughts run
Away and vanish like birds-
They lose their feathers
Away and vanish like birds-
They lose their feathers
wet honeysuckles -
behind, the bay has vanished
in gray rain and fog
behind, the bay has vanished
in gray rain and fog
Willow trees in light
and shade. Bow to the new day.
Ash of creation.
and shade. Bow to the new day.
Ash of creation.
Wash sin from his soul
Dipped into a river stream
Born into a lie
Dipped into a river stream
Born into a lie
Two sharp blasts of wind,
Bringing fierce chills to the bones,
Summer is long gone.
Bringing fierce chills to the bones,
Summer is long gone.
I am lost ashore
Waiting to return to sea
Heavy, sallow, raw.
Waiting to return to sea
Heavy, sallow, raw.
A fading flower,
losing color, vibrancy.
Youth's passion grows dim
losing color, vibrancy.
