together in the blue and white
while each still
going their own way
Flock In Flight
Legacy
coneflowers stand
in tribute to
their former themselves
Burning Bush
an enduring
divinity of
light and color
Keep Watch
three lighthouses
and the morning star
guiding in the day
Contained
inhabiting an oak leaf
all the colors and changes
of autumn
Sunrise
beam of light
reaching for heaven
reaching for us
Talking Sticks
each touches the next
mindful to leave
ample space for listening
Sail On
wind at your back
untether yourself
from fear
Autumn Shore
this tide
pulls summer
into the blue depths
Peace Visited
welcome is made
by acceptance and surrender
to beauty’s embrace
Concentration Of Red Maple
color that pulses
my heart beats
in sync
October Tableau
the shadows and leaves
a collage
depicting time
Heads Up
a mast year
toads dodge
the falling acorns
Lucky Are The Wanderers
summer departs
like a rainbow’s end
the forest full of gold
Whispers Of Adieu
new slant of light
the colors start
as summer slips away
Wild And Free
some petals spent
the joyful bloom
undeterred
Lift Your Eyes
and see
how trees reach
for heaven
Be The Way
like the water lily
feed your light
into the darkness
Wearing The Wool That Will Warm Us
sheep graze
beneath a rainbow of leaves
content in their well earned peace
Shell Collecting
the forest
a green ocean
her leafy tide revealing
mushroom seashells
Quiet Courage
reeds unbowed
by winter’s approach
resisting advance compliance
Waking
dawn opened
her sleepy eye
and lo the day began
There Is Safety
as an island
has a lighthouse
the earth has the moon
Beneath The Moon
as day good-byes
the blue sky waves
in pinks and purples
Silt and Shadow
the way every element
was moving, changing, departing
I glimpsed eternity
Jack-in-the-Pulpit
the seeds
of next year’s
sermons
Faith In Mystery
there was
a needed reassurance
in the river’s soft corner
The Brook Kaleidoscopes
the water, light and movement
an invitation to slip inside
the flow of things
Where The Light Gets In
true togetherness
resides in those little spaces
we honor between us
Flowers In Lamp Light
cosmos defiant hoorah
as if to prove
the potency of bloom
