most leaves now down
their absence
brings the mountain closer
Companion For Winter
By And By
white birch
reaching for
the polka dot sky
Pretty Precipitation
petal shower
at the meadow’s edge
so many kinds of rain
Reassurance
constants
the river, the mountain
the flowers return
the renewal of spring
Echo
the dark and light
of clouds and sky
how like life
passing by
Hope On The Horizon
morning silence broken by
the whisperings of
delicate colors
Winter’s Crosshatch
the river’s dark slash
beneath the mountain’s horizon
weaving through trees
Bequeathed By The Sun
vast beauty
blankets the world
the divine is at work
With Less, More
white and grays and blues
the ground and branch and sky
expressing winter’s intricate simplicities
Homeward Sky
sunset radiances
light a corridor
to heaven
The Day Retires
the day packed away
in night’s
dark briefcase
Blue Sunset
dark clouds
blue with water
preparing to erase the snow
The Approach
off in the distance
winter is a train loaded with cold
closing the miles between us
Clouds Above The Palisades
sunshine spotlights
the bluff face
as day dips into shadow
Rise Of The Sun
colors of the new day
press against
the bedroom screen
Preparation For Fall
meadow, mountains, sky
intensify their colors
as shadows grow deeper
As The Sky Moves
freedom
washes over me
I am untethered from worry
Flowering Sunset
the night
unfurls herself
like a rose
How To Receive
look out
upon the horizon
without expectations
The Mountain Wears A Kilt
shadows woven
on the snow
in the glen plaid woods
Even Grey Days Have Their Golden Light
the sun is found
golden and shining
from the ground
Wild Tundra
roam freely
between the wild
and tamed places
A Litle Help From A Friend
the dear crabapple
lifting up the grey clouds
to let a little light in
Carried
traveling the lines
across a brilliant sky
voices seeking hearts
Dawning
traveling with the morning light
the mountain revealed through the trees
then the pond shrugs off her shawl of pink mist
so tenderly begins this day
The Tree’s Topography
a map of life
the bark divulging
her valleys and mountains
Building Blocks
one lone piece
of our river valley
mountains and palisades
Mountain Flower
blooming in the woods
for the delight
of trees
We Grow, Grow, Grow
contrary to their neat rows
the seedlings desire
of life is feral
Go Slow
on the dirt road
through the greening valley
witness hope unfurling before you
