In the open space
dreams collect like clouds
creating my horizon.
Preparation
The forest bed is made
and awaits animal dreams
and blankets of snow
Awake
I dream
of golden clouds
and painted fields.
Slumber
Seeds rest in husk beds
dreaming
of their spring morning.
Poppies
Brave souls of impoverished soil
potent charms
who bring ecstatic dreams
Field of Dreams
Dreams take shape slowly
emerging from soft surroundings
an impression forms, staking claim on hope.
Wishes
Scatter your wishes
farther than your feet will ever travel.
Dream dreams bigger than the universe.
Sleeping Garden
Down in the field the garden bed sleeps
dreaming of rain, flowers and food
and knowledgeable hands that coax and groom.
Before Twilight
In the magic hours the forest glows
as trees catch the sun and release their dreams.
Frozen Memory
I dreamed of the marsh in winter
and saw tawny wheat growing in sand as soft as a cloud.
Ridge
Just over the ridge
reside my dreams of Spring.
Leafy trees and blooming things;
the sun’s warm embrace, kisses on my face.
Ambition
Number 498 had a dream
to create a herd of high end sweaters.
Cone Flowers
Gone are the purple petal skirts and crowns of gold
but your beauty and grace remain
and will be scattered by the wind.
Sunday Mountain
The Great Spirit resides here, peacefully presiding over us.
The wind still holds the echos of the Abenaki’s footsteps.
The soil cradles our carefully tended dreams.
Rest
Until the crops have given their full yield
you may rest in the high weeds with the moon flower.
When it is time to till again you will carry the full weight of a man and his dreams.
Lavender Glooming
When the afternoon melts into dusk and evening is on the rise
new dreams are born in shadows and cloud forms
as old dreams disperse with the day.
Homestead Building
First the dream comes
then the vision begins
to be tangible.
