the tide withdrew
and left behind
hard and soft combined
Like Life
The World Is Drawn Anew In Color
the slow rousing of spring
color and life
sneaking up beside you
Change
life and time
always on the move
let us be their gracious guests
One Step, Then Another
the last step taken
on this journey
is the first step of the next
Renewal
beneath the dormant garden
lies the constant unseen work
of life
A Map Of Time
every line and mar
documenting
the leaf’s life
Always
the two at once
joy and sorrow
and the search for ways
to befriend both
The Tree’s Topography
a map of life
the bark divulging
her valleys and mountains
All Sorts And Conditions
newness and perfection
are short lived
life takes
and the flowers give
Flow
I long
to take life’s curves
as gracefully as the winter brook
Circle Of Life
seeded landscape
declining and proliferating
simultaneously
Time’s Turning
summer’s life seen
as a kaleidoscope
of colors
The River The Sunlight And Wind
painted an abstract
capturing
the whole of life
Exuberant Vulnerability
holding both
the fragility and tenacity
of life
Circle Of Life
every ending
ushers in
the next beginning
Contemplating Life
a good companion
is the flower
full of quiet and complexities
Three Birch By The Barn Door
these friends
experience, strength and hope
my life’s companions
Double Helix
there it was
the chain of life
in the curves of the leaf
Light In The Leaves
shining like gold
glowing like embers
light is life
More Precious For The Wear
even as life
takes from us
our beauty remains
Joy And Sorrow
the dark and light
that passes through
our blue days
Cosmo Macro
at the center
concentration
of life and color
Boundless
into the blue
the oh so blue sky
limitless universe unveiled
Bursting Forth
life force
an explosion
of joy
Into The Unknown
surrender
with complete abandon
to life’s plan
Leaf Life
sculpture on ice
bas relief
of a leaf’s life
Attuned To Life
alert
to the mysteries of
what happens next
Fourth Dimension
see time
whooshing by
in the context of your life
Lesson In A Leaf
life asks
that we give away
little parts of ourselves
Ever On
missing limb
the healing tree
still fruits
