Winds sway shaking trees aside
Trembling blue waters
Winds sway shaking trees aside
Trembling blue waters
sun's brilliant sparkle
turquoise blue ocean abounds

Watching dragonfly on twig
Flash of sticky tongue

Flash of sticky tongue
Out of the vast marsh
plaintive grey curlew calling -
sister scolding me.

sister scolding me.
Icy village pond
Bundled skaters weave designs
Hands hug warm cocoa

rain clouds come to play,
wind pushes far memories
old and rusted swing
wind pushes far memories
old and rusted swing
infernal water
crashes and foams in splendor
sounds of utter peace
crashes and foams in splendor
sounds of utter peace
In the mirror lake
My reflected hand holds yours.
The leaves warn of wind.
My reflected hand holds yours.
The leaves warn of wind.

White feathers on cold water
They circle to shore.

They circle to shore.
Walk on ancient rocks
Lighthouses mark safe passage
Tide pools teem with life

your eyes fill with tears
let me go winter daughter
to my Moon River

to my Moon River
autumn horizon
the falling rain, scatter of
leaves on the frost soil
the falling rain, scatter of
leaves on the frost soil
evening drifting in
over green waves as a mist
closes the curtain
over green waves as a mist

Monk on bench, Sea-Tac
Did not see me next to him;
Immersed in i-phone.

Immersed in i-phone.
Rocks click like crickets
air like shimmering water
desert summer heat
air like shimmering water
desert summer heat
still the white blossom
reflected in the tide pool
my hand on the bloom
reflected in the tide pool
my hand on the bloom
whales grown huge on krill
are but specks in a vast sea?
surging tsunami
are but specks in a vast sea?
surging tsunami

Frog watches below
full yucca moon ghosts
starving black basalt river
thin rapids bleed snow

like fresh salt water taffy,
around in my mouth

around in my mouth
Knocked down by the rain,
The maple seeds glow pale green
On the wet sidewalk
The maple seeds glow pale green

red as geishas' lips
tigers, oceans, forests bleed
red as geishas' lips

you waste your time on this hill,
it won't feel a thing
you waste your time on this hill,
it won't feel a thing
windy afternoon...
watching the circling black clouds
drop to lashing rain
watching the circling black clouds
drop to lashing rain
ripple on the pond
shows where the swimmer has been
an eagle will feast

an eagle will feast

the moon shine plays hide and seek
with a chance of rain
the moon shine plays hide and seek
with a chance of rain
sky for a canvas
sunshine sand and rolling sea
clouds erase the paint
sunshine sand and rolling sea
clouds erase the paint
chunks of blue ice drift
into the harbor bearing
an unsteady moose

Three river city-
Pittsburgh, winter wind searches
through empty buildings.

Lake Norman. Disappearing

Stream across an azure sky
Nature on parade
