The ledge measures time
by lichen, moss and shadow.
Embrace
fingers of moss
entwine the old tree
a lover’s goodbye embrace.
Circle Theory
At each ending a beginning,
at each beginning an ending.
Infinity.
Foothold
the ancient ones
leave their footprints
above and below the land.
Fourth Leaf
From the decay of the birch
emerges clover and moss;
an unexpected enchantment.
Overlooking
The water glitters and shouts as it rushes on
carrying memories of perfection from the freshness of youth.
Age tempers today’s perfection with the acceptance of impermanence
making the glitter more brilliant and the shouting more joyful.
Living
In April the earth vibrates
with a growing, glowing green
that celebrates each second of aliveness.
Unfolding
Rock, moss, raffia of grass
the sprouting of leaves.
Resurrection.
Moss
A miniature forest in a miniscule landscape,
the majesty of moss.
Other Views
This is how a bee sees
pine needles and moss.
Energy has color.
Water Fall
A slide of green velvet moss,
a plush pile carpet of leaves,
water carbonated with laughter –
this is the spot where the fairies play.
