narrative of a perfect afternoon
written by the four parallels of
lines, light, water, rock
Harmony
Yellow House With Chrysanthemums
harmony
presided throughout
house and garden
Harmony
poppies concur
red houses
for bluebirds
Harmony
November’s
sky and light
when opposites agree
Sedum View
to see
what flowers see
the expanding harmonies
Silent Rehearsal
beneath the grey and stillness
within every twig and limb
all cells are harmonizing
readying for the symphony of spring
Moving Meditation
like dervishes
branches twist and spin
seeking harmony between the seasons
Winter’s Song
earth’s orchestra plays
winter’s melody of cold
while the wind harmonizes
in ice and snow
Thanksgiving Woods
the harmony of everything
resounds in the woods
on thanksgiving and all days
The Magic Flute
in harmony
with wind and birdsong
a concert for the trees
Ikebana
Arranged by the Great Spirit
everything in nature
embodies balance and harmony.
Garden Illuminata
leaves harmonize
with shadow and light
in the stillness resides everything
Horizons
Standing in the quiet of the field
in the gentle morning light
the mountain range rests in soft clouds
all is as it should be.
Herringbone
A harmony of light and dark,
the forest floor wears herringbone.
The Tao of Trees
In his stillness
the squirrel seeks
to become one with the tree.
Blooms with Stone
In the garden everything finds its rightful home
a stone is sheltered by a mass of blooms
and so it should be.
