In the absence of leaves
the branch wears lichen.
Spring will not be surrendered.
Celestial Sky
I bathe my soul
in the beauty of the sky.
Commencement
The new day sweeps in
clearing darkness to the side.
Blue Noon
Clouds hide away the sun.
Cold paints the world blue.
Is this living on the moon?
A Rescuing Sky
Contentment sails by
on a pink cloud.
Room
In the open space
dreams collect like clouds
creating my horizon.
Outcropping
The granite ledge
makes itself known
by refusing all trees.
Aspiration
Branches reach
through blue sky and clouds
to touch the heavens.
Awake
I dream
of golden clouds
and painted fields.
Shadow Lands
light and dark
waltz across
the hilltops
Quilted Sky
Tucked under a blanket of clouds
the river valley rests.
Spirit in Clouds
During dark days
if I remember to look up
I can see your magnificence
shining on me.
Slender Thread
We are tied to this earth
with a thread more slender and fragile
than the stem of a birch leaf in autumn.
Daybreak
Blushing at her tardiness
autumn dawn makes her arrival
a bit later each day.
Flue
Stones reach into the sky
inviting angels to take a place
at the hearth.
Labor of Love
There is a magic garden
where everyone is welcome
to come and take what they need
be it faith or flowers.
Heaven
On certain summer days
it is clear
heaven is here with us.
Horizons
Standing in the quiet of the field
in the gentle morning light
the mountain range rests in soft clouds
all is as it should be.
July Morn
Threatening skies
don’t intimidate
wild grass
Change
The thunderhead rolls in
soon to darken the blue sky with rain
and throw lightening bolts like Zeus.
Procession
Clouds gather in formation
ascending towards the heavens
marching across the sky
as pines stand sentry to their parade.
River Road
Take the slow way home along River Road.
Rest on the shoulder, marvel at the canopy of clouds.
Before the Storm
the sky gathers greyness and weight
and pushes itself upon us blanketing us with
anticipation in the stillness and the stirring smell of approaching snow.
Wide Sky
The southern wind announces Spring is on her way to us.
These clouds are ruffles on her petticoats.
February Afternoon
Cozy on the couch beneath the quilt
daydreams gather and drift by like the clouds.
Leafless
Black branches against brilliant blue
whispers of clouds wandering by
winter’s silhouette.
Leaf, Sky, Clouds
Through storms and bright blue bitter cold
tenacity holds the leaf to the stem.
Full Moon
A walk in the woods
by the light of the moon
enchanted reverie
