winter’s beach
new snow dunes
hold a frozen tide
Orchestra Of The Outside
the wind
conducted
autumn’s hymnn
The Afternoon’s Generosity
colors in the grass
such beauty
offered everywhere
Midday Light
stand of grass
a tethered
cloud
Breakfast
cattle graze
a meal that lasts
the day
Nature’s Company
just the queen
and me
enough of everything
Discerning Eye
up pops
the heron head
to get a better view
Vantage Point
up
from the ground
looking all around
Painted
paintbrush
of wildflowers
depicts summer bloom
Harmony
poppies concur
red houses
for bluebirds
Those Girls
chorus line of tulips
all high kicks
and red lipstick
Walkway
after a petal rain
the polka dot path
leads home
Cat Naps
sharing the stoop
in the afternoon sun
perfect contentment
Emergence
mandala of hearts
on the mill stone
loving what is
Sheepish Questions
do you
have the key
to the gate?
Forbearance
spring’s green
biding her time
beneath the ice
Last Dance
summer’s
last light danced
across the lawn
Break Time
crabapple snack
fuel for
nut gathering
Solace
head on
mother nature’s shoulder
respite from the world
Navigating Darkness
troubled times
the lantern needed
even in sunlight
Steps
summer left
her pink and yellow footprints
on the ripening meadow
Foreshadowing
winter waited
at the edge
of the changing meadow
Time Enough
day moved slow
as cow and ducks
listened to the grass grow
Eden
in this paradise
of new colors
apples are still flowers
Escapees
daffodils
on the run
making for the woods
Perceptions
reflective mood
each perspective
a new understanding
Deep Listening
tuned
to the sounds
of green things growing
Elemental
water, leaf and shadow
elemental mosaic
of mud season
Dunes
seeking
heat and blue
white and cold found
Alighted
hope
is faith’s comrade
keeping us afloat
