we recognize this threshold
and step through
to tranquility
An Arch Of Trees
Made New
new wonders
on old paths
the magic of snow
Believe
despite the enormity
of the big dark woods
and the smallness of our feet
we can find our way through
Morning Meditation
Mable
on the porch
admiring the bleeding hearts
She And Her Shadow
like a splash of night
lingering on
the morning driveway
Mabel Reminds Me How
to feel
my right to a place
in the world
Nature Writer
the dog tromps and romps
her tracks leave
a story of joy
Hound In The Woods
a low growl
from the oak stump
warning from the watcher
Autumn Leaf On Pebble Beach
the delicate landing of a fallen leaf
the pebbled shore in conversation with the waves
the dog and I witnesses to all creation
Stone Pug
faithful friend
maintains his place in the shade
between the bloodroot and the blooms
Sensing What Is Beyond Sight
like Mabel
the woods call to me too
beckoning with mysteries and solace
A Place For Togetherness
let’s not let
the picnic bench
be lonely
Homage To Christina’s World
portrait of the dog
as unwitting
model
Garden Gaurdians
neither gargoyle nor griffin
still
they hold the guard
Always Listening
by name or whistle
the call of the wild abandoned
speeding towards the comforts of home
Scout In The Woods
blazing the trail
but always keeping
within sight
Psychic
the four pawed palm reader
divines
daffodils soon to bloom
Walk With A Friend
to be thought of
by an animal
the best of communions
Small Dog Big World
the place between
the call of the wild
and being called home
Dog Days
it is good
to run in the brook
and dash through sun and shade
Bounce
discovering
joy in
everything
In Sync With The Landscape
the garden bed
and puppy
curve
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
on the couch
with their own
pillow and blanket
Thin Ice
suspended on
the surface of things
seeking a breakthrough
Morning Amble
my little polar bear
out enjoying
winter’s fresh air
Contemplating the Flowers
shooed from the garden bed
the porch as
observation perch
Purpose
beauty draws us
out of the darkness
into the light
A Dog’s Life
overseeing
the world
from a shady spot
Pema
she hunts insights
in the misty mystical field
Devotion
to be waited for
and received in love
is the soul of homecoming
