shadow dance
on the rock face
Will You Find Your Way To Being A Butterfly
nourished with parsley
tended by humans
Frost Dodger
as summer wanes
each flower more precious
for the precariousness
The Delicate Alongside The Enduring
delivers
petals against granite
Guidepost
your presence
lets me know
I am home
Singular Ambition
one acorn
waits to grow
a forest
Forest Of Fern
everything rests
upon
proportion’s perception
They Meet Each Spring
enduring rock
perpetual phlox
kindreds
Granite Face
head cocked
piercing eye
shy smile
Palisades
ledge edge
defined by snow
precarious perfection
Darkness Gives Us Light
and so
the breath of snowfall
can be seen
In Endless Variation And Subtlety
mighty granite
displays so many grays
in the shale of the palisades
Kiss Me Over The Garden Gate
at the flower’s
request
love and affection
Walkway
after a petal rain
the polka dot path
leads home
Mountain Through the Trees
granite post marks
the old entrance
passageway to spring
Cartography
mapping
the diminutive
continent of moss
Granite and Lichen
ancient friends
in company since
the beginning of time
Afterlife
ghosts of summer
seeding the future
with their return
Serrated Shade
saw toothed
shadow
carving granite
Snow in Summer
as similar
and individual
as snowflakes
Hard Won Purchase
granite and ice
a cold hard home
for velvet moss
Slow Waters
fountain in winter
slow flow
of ice and snow
Rainy Day Music
rain plays
on tin roofs
symphony for birds
Assurance
with just
a little warmth
life springs forth
Flow
oh to be
a leaf in the water
that shapes the rock
The Power Of Love
tender hearts
reach to warm
the cold, hard granite
Tide
liquid granite
illustrates the tide
of time
Steps to Change
in the woods
the corner waited
to be turned
Rock of Ages
the ancient rock
with its sleepy eye
watches all of time
travel by
Cenotaph
every season
leaves an inscription
in lichen lettering
