Queen Ann
presides over
the hillside
Avowed
house and barns
married the sky
to its homeland
Conciliation
autumn morning sun
warms the low lying cold
compromise before winter
Invitation
the open gate
invites me
into the new day
Fast Morning Sky
the landscape unfurls
its green velvet carpet
for the day to walk
The Geography of Time
snow recedes
with the mysteriousness
of spring’s birth
Expectation
On the road to Oz
the Emerald City is within view
but somehow just out of reach.
