spring hopes rise
like mist lifting
from the morning mountain
In April
in earthen beds
beneath another snow
seeds shake off their sleeping caps
At The Homestead
the farm stand
the house and the barn
a trinity of roofs
Calling Forth Green
between
the snow and clouds
evergreens conjure spring
Treacherous Beauty
greeted by
the elegance of ice
in the glimmering morning
Devotion To Grey
late February days
when daytime
feels like twilight
Mountain Shore
waves of time
mountain backs rise
then disperse into mist
Rainbow Ends
the far end
of the rainbow
colors in the day
Within
snow storm
sound and color
silenced
Serenity At The Oxbow
the river’s clarity
a love poem
to stillness
Heaven and Earth
between
the darknesses
a path of light
Exhalation
the landscape sighs
making space
for the new year
When Wandering
from afar
a tiny star
can lead us home
Field Music
quartet
of snow
early winter sung
Until Next Year
grass waves goodbye
to the deep blue
of the cold sky
Unveiling
in this fleeting moment
the mountain’s divinity
made itself known
Blue Glooming
in fading light
heaven’s window
opens
Highest, Bluest, Widest
divine sky
heaven visits
for the afternoon
First Light
as the garden bed sleeps
first light
blooms in the sky
In The Troposphere
thunder heralds
the gathering darkness
fronts collide
Exhalation
after the rain
the heat is tamed
the day resumes
Verdant
so many
shades of green
so few names
Penciled In
barest
outlines of colors
before leaves unfurl
Grand Plans
inside
the tiny house
plotting planting season
Perspicacity
beneath the veil
spring is greening
the world
Merest Hint of Color
clouds whispered
their expectations
of the blooming world
Presiding Over The Future
early spring’s queen
the willow in her
golden crown
March’s Indecisive Landscape
snow recedes
while ever approaching
on the horizon
Vision
the sky opened
like an all seeing eye
then blinked the world into night
Long View
a brief reprieve
this glimpse of grass
inside snow’s grasp
