a brief reprieve
this glimpse of grass
inside snow’s grasp
Nature’s Love Affair
wildflowers arranged themselves
for the pleasure of
the mountain’s view
Arranged Engagement
high noon
at red barn farm
duel of light and shadow
Dressed In The Sunrise
mountains draw
a shawl of pink
across their chilly shoulders
Here Now
we need the shadows
to know how bright
the light can be
Aide Memoire
the tender dawn
reminding me
to go gently into the day
White Light
resting thoughts
on mountain’s
soft shoulders
Thirtieth Day
the sun
sets on November
painting gratitude on the sky
The Four Fields
those two couples
our friendship weathers
seasons and years
Warm Memory To Store For Winter
a Saturday landscape
the playful breeze
and laughing leaves
Solace
head on
mother nature’s shoulder
respite from the world
Sedum View
to see
what flowers see
the expanding harmonies
Dahlia in the Daises
bright blooms
autumn afternoons
departing soon
Hues and Shades
morning light
the sky is painted
in clouds and white
Uncontainable Happiness
flush of pleasure
the blushing dusk
closes a splendid day
Sweet Feed
making hay
in the afternoon sun
sweetens the feed
Dusk
dreams came early
before night
had fully fallen
Gathering
clouds fly in
reunion of old friends
from the great beyond
Disbanding
day dispersed
in golden bands
as dark swept over land
Vista
the garden
over looks
forever
Readiness
the field prepared
weather on the move
commencement of the growing season
Twilight
the day
at rest
lavender gloaming
Buried Bench
blue morning
snow up to the seat
spring stirs beneath
Time’s Labor
clouds and sun
snow’s toe hold of cold
all cultivating spring
Mountain Children
palisades reveal
the peaks and sheers
of this Appalachian’s child
Picnic
the table’s cloth
is made of snow
and set with sun
Tentative
first snow
a little shy
to be dropping by
Dwelling
the old barn
is history’s house
home of every season’s work
Saturated
a bluing sky
intensifies
the turning of the trees
Up In The Hay Loft
rest
in the lap
of summer
