tiny envelopes
of the future’s promise
soon to be sent via airmail
Seed Packages
Together
we walk through shadows
and last years leaves
determining a path to the future
The River Curves
motionless
the river wanders
the future and the past
From The Past The Future
shadow of the hollyhock’s
gift wrapped seeds
ghost of summer, prophet of spring
Three Lines
the snow, the mist, the clouds
past, present, future
the weather writes a tercet
In The Quietude
here at this river bend
the past is behind me, the future in front
and I am centered in the current of now
Told By The Road
the future is uncertain
but for this
together we go on
Satellite
receiving instructions
from last summer
on future destinations
Reverence
bowed to winter
seeing past reflection
into the future
A Spell Is Cast
in autumn light
vision extends
into the forever
The Past, The Present, The Future
the garden’s rose bouquet
holding and offering the blooms of
yesterday, today and tomorrow
Hollyhock Perpetuity
seeding
the future
so goes eternity
Proximity
missive
from the future
fall’s imminence
Sitting
buddha of
the three doors
the past, the future, the present
Presiding Over The Future
early spring’s queen
the willow in her
golden crown
Afterlife
ghosts of summer
seeding the future
with their return
Fog’s Clarity
the future disappeared
along with the horizon
leaving the delicate determination of now
Talisman
heron in the morning light
blesses the unfolding future
Room
In the open space
dreams collect like clouds
creating my horizon.
Round the Bend
When the present arrives
suddenly and surely like a train
the past is left behind
and the future is forever before us.
