rustle of leaves
squeaking of trees
sounds of season change
Galaxy
pumpkin wears
a constellation of light
and the black of night
Homecoming Dance
fall arrives
as leaf and shadow
dance in waning light
Parting Gift
sunflower
leaves her sunshine
behind
Birch Brush
summer drawn
with wind and water
moving while still
Dive In
in the deep end
of color
oranges give way to light
Unseen Seen
with in a web
of black and white
complexities of grey
Water Temple
elements in worship
limbs raised in prayer
reflection of faith
Dream Land
in the terrain of dreams
every worm and woodpecker hole
is a passageway to the realm beyond
Surface Diving
beneath
what is seen
symmetrical rings
Another Frontier
new galaxy
found on the ground
lily pad houses black holes
Beseeching
bloodroot’s leaf
clasped in prayer
beseeching blooms
Telling Time
river silt
the tide’s clock
chimes in ripples
Awakened
the brambles stir
branches pulse
with spring’s life force
Tide
liquid granite
illustrates the tide
of time
Hear the Unspoken
rose hips and hydrangea
having weathered the winter
articulate grace under pressure
Brief Glimpse
the lay of the land
appeared in the sky
as gentle mountains rise
above the crashing ocean waves
How
color was how
the world
sprang to life
Scattered
positions
like conditions
remain ever changing
Another Step
space travel
the moon lands
in the door yard
Cells
nature draws
abstractions of
the building blocks of life
Remnant of Everything
discarded bark contains
the sunrise and the sunset
and the dark side of the moon
Bees
they buzz in bubbles
beneath the ice
water is their wings
Fashion
birch and sky
both wearing stripes
the fashion of the day
Abstraction of March
a flux of
halted movement
the design of fleeting time
Cattail Ice
this mercurial winter
zigs and zags
playing tag with spring
Portend
the weather
dreamed of spring
in water eggs and feather ice
Metamorphosis
winter’s icy caterpillar
gestates spring’s
tender wings of color
Fluid
in the rush of change
the only way to become oriented
is to surrender to transformation
Stirring
the water swam
as shadows danced
the past nourishing the present
