plum purple
maple leaf
autumn’s fruit
Encountered
emerald green
seldom seen
frog king
Pema
she hunts insights
in the misty mystical field
Pace
corners are for bustle
curves and bends
are where I like to wander
From Field To Barn
each bale contains
a cycle of seasons
the circle of life
Written There
the bird and insect’s canon
left for man and beast
hieroglyphics on trees
Out In Back
summer lolled
on the August lawn
luxuriating
Darkness in the Light
lantern’s speck of light
trusted guide
on a dark day
Arrival
summer flew in
on the wide blue sky
and landed in the greening field
Herd on the Hill
the gentle slope
the tender grass
sweet lazy grazing
The Nature of Time
slowly thyme
makes its way
across the lawn of summer
The Wave
dismissing winter
beckoning spring
so brave the grass’ gesture
Field Psalm
dried grass’
wind song
autumn’s hymn
Other Side
just before the hard frost
the grass is at its greenest
a promise to meet us
on the other side of winter
Grazing
delicious is
the final feast
of fresh grass
Accumulation
fall is for gathering
wood into stacks
and sheep into flocks
Revealed
nature reflects
the whole
of everything
Magnificence
her majesty
saves a place for me
while holding up the sky
Accommodation
Breath
a frog jumps
the pond breathes
in ripples
Lessons
wildflowers instruct us
bloom where you are
Dandelion Rain
if the sun came like rain
dandelions would be its drops
Hunt
searching the old corn field
for grub be it bug or blade
Grazing
Cows find
spring’s sweetness
in tender young grass.
Wardrobe Change
When the grass greens
it’s nearing the time to take off
your winter coat.
Slope
The end of summer
has found her
angle of repose.
Nap Time
Late afternoon
the youngest ones
slumber on soft grass
Magic Carpet
There is still time.
Come sit on the soft lush green.
Let the world embrace you.
Each blade of grass grows just for you.
Fourth Leaf
From the decay of the birch
emerges clover and moss;
an unexpected enchantment.
Horizon
For the ant
the horizon
lies in the grass.
