the closer I look
the more my view expands
and resonates with memories
Nearer To Thee
Striped Sky With Tree Filagree
the world
and all her beauties
awaiting our discovery
Mere Seconds
to discover how quickly
things change
They Are Dancing
we watch
firefly flowers
Totem Of The Downed Tree
whale eye
broken walrus tusk
house of spirits
Watching Curves
the bridge
the rock wall
the landscape itself
Hawk
all the small creatures know
the curve
of the predators beak
There It Was
the infinitesimal star
perhaps I didn’t see
but surely I believed
Diamond Drops
the only tool needed
for mining beauty
was observation
Found And Found Again
the truth
of beauty
is always rearranging
Holiness Seen
tiny white outline
halo
on hallowed leaf
I Saw
the hollyhock
listening
to time fleeting
Granite Face
head cocked
piercing eye
shy smile
Spied
merest
hint of green
hope enough for March
Open To Receiving
a winter walk
the wood’s gifts of beauty
match every step
The Afternoon’s Generosity
colors in the grass
such beauty
offered everywhere
Butterfly Alighted
small moment
enlarges
the day
Contemplating the Flowers
shooed from the garden bed
the porch as
observation perch
Vantage Point
up
from the ground
looking all around
Moving Pictures
the day
unfurls itself
between the fence rails
High in the Blue Sky
petaled turret
pink watchtower
beauty’s sentinel observes
Look
two bright poppy eyes
one wears shade
mascara-ed stamens
Kaleidoscope
ever changing
light through leaves
beauty’s infinity
How
color was how
the world
sprang to life
Relativity
in the velocity of observation
it is the small that gives
grandeur to the larger
For Equilibrium
sit a bit
in the shelter of the shade
and watch the day wander by
Centered
sigh of contentment
pink blushed bloom
the center of this moment
Tranquility
in the stillness
the beauty of everything
was amplified
Mirror
the pond reflects
life’s web of connections
the artistry of now
Twig with Lichen
magnificence
masquerading as
the mundane
