silence falls
where there was song
shy bird
That’s What It’s All About
little bird’s
hokey pokey
turning himself around
Journey
remembering it all
spring summer fall
raven heads into winter
Inside the Bird Box
phoebe
on her nest
of moss and dryer fluff
Loon’s Nest
as she sits
creation is constructed of
stillness and patience
Suspension
held aloft
it seems
by only hope
Enunciation
sacred sound
the cry of life
effort and sacrifice
Enter Stage Left
swooping in
summer arrives
on red wings
Vision Guide
to be seen
over the eagle’s shoulder
invitation to spiritual quest
Primary Colors
yellow bird
amid red buds
awaits blue sky
Soar
held aloft
by nothing but
deep belief in freedom
Port in the Storm
hanging on
with gratitude
for what is available
Dream
pink bird flew
across the sky
showing me how to dream
Neighbor
good morning, good morning
another new day made
for us to share
Haven
shelter in the rhododendron
waiting out winter
alongside flower buds
You Again, Wise Friend
the look that speaks
an instruction
to be true
Signs
the pine wears sleet
like many steps of bird’s feet
leaving the sign of peace
Concentration
like the eye
of a hurricane
stillness at the center
With
the better shelter
from the storm
is found with others
Mountainside
black bird rests
in the red winter rose
snowfall’s tableau
Faith
be still
in the darkness
for the light will find you
Resonance
in the echo
your song
is sung anew
Bird and Babe
inside
the flowering
white ring of innocence
Carried
leap of faith
the heron’s flight
all my dreams are carried
At The Elegant Edge
outside the spotlight
of sunshine and sparkle
the silhouette of elegance
Wild Ways
intrepid tree
grows in rock
eagle’s fishing spot
Released
in the echo
of his cry
every tear is dried
Heronry
the colony
begins with two
sentinels of progeny
Vision
amidst glimmer and glint
long legged glamour
gorgeousness afoot
The Day Rose Softly
the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks
