cooling wind currents,
hail strikes the fresh rose blossoms —
the sultriness veils

our untroubled sea
every splash and ripple
part of the stillness

part of the stillness
Eyes peering through glass
Behold new buds of blood red
Rain and wind teasing

Rain and wind teasing
Baby in my arms—
These maple shadows flowing
Over river stone
These maple shadows flowing
Over river stone
powder snow adorns
graveyard angel statue's wings
with ermine garlands

as if flitting tree to tree
was really their aim

was really their aim
Blue river magic
bends through trees and carries clouds
teaching her to flow
bends through trees and carries clouds
teaching her to flow
mists swirl on the lake
then tendrils unfurl, curls bloom,
reach long for moonbeams
then tendrils unfurl, curls bloom,
reach long for moonbeams
Evening settles in
A waning moon lies hidden
Fireflies twinkle
A waning moon lies hidden
Fireflies twinkle
I cannot see you
as the train leaves the station
but still wave good bye
as the train leaves the station
but still wave good bye
clouds hide the June moon

Sudden bloom of snow
flurries of maple pollen
April half over

April half over
seeing every life
except the hickory tree's
a red woodpecker

a red woodpecker
red-winged blackbird’s flight
among the summer rainfall
a blue sky promise
among the summer rainfall
a blue sky promise
spring chicken again
on well-trodden forest path
rose hip flashes red

Looking down I see
the face of a singing bird
how easy you sleep
the face of a singing bird
how easy you sleep
Ancient willows dance
as passionate winds blow fire
a naked tree reborn

Iron in deep cells
guides the pigeon through gray clouds
nature’s own quiet craft

Dancing clouds shape dreams
Streaking sun warms summer's grass

Fig tree in the den
lets fall its final three leaves.
The whole room naked.
lets fall its final three leaves.
The whole room naked.
Growling skies throw swords
The wind throws rocks and branches
Clouds begin to spit
The wind throws rocks and branches
Clouds begin to spit
The sobbing half moon
lost in a starless night sky
watches predators
lost in a starless night sky
watches predators
Silent trees reborn
birds call for spring, their notes soar
from telephone wires

from telephone wires
sun ignites treetops
explosion of autumn flames
vibrant fall tresses

vibrant fall tresses
beech leaves decaying
inquisitive dogs sniffing
aromas of tea

Great White Egret lands
on bed of marsh hyacinths
brackish salt pond stills

brackish salt pond stills
Flash of Egret wings
White against the muddy shore
Too soon departing

Too soon departing
palm trees shed shaggy
winter pelts. spring drapes their necks
with fruity red beads

with fruity red beads
Trickling vernal pools
Sparkling in the new day sun
Springtime elixir

Easter afternoon
river full of roaring boats
sea lions hiding
river full of roaring boats
sea lions hiding
late evening spring breeze
wind chimes' melody rings out
tree frogs joining in

tree frogs joining in
Paw prints in the snow
Two old dogs out on the trail
Many miles to go
Two old dogs out on the trail
Many miles to go
to be an acorn
falling to musty humus
cracking Earth open
falling to musty humus
cracking Earth open
autumn trees aflame
blazing canopies burn red
summer's fling consumed

summer's fling consumed
Leaves loosed from anchors
drifting in varied displays
death's boldest presents.
