the first coat
of winter’s
white
December Oxbow
Lifting The Curtain
a teasing start to the day
with the fog and the sun’s
slow reveal of the horizon
A Lazy Graze
cows know
how to do summer
slow and sweet
This Morning Didn’t Rise
some winter days
never seem to wake
they dream through to the next night
Learning From The Herd
keep close together
do what is best for you
tilt your face toward the sun
Rise
morning opens my eyes
my heart longs to embrace
the soul of this day
Two Blues
the river
and the sky
clouds floating in each
Conversations Across Time
fall’s iris pods
call across the river
to the tree’s spring buds
By The River In July
thirsty fields
anticipate
some much needed rain
Cows In The Pasture
place holders
for a summer’s day
Becoming One
the temperature rises
snow becomes fog
the universe dissolves into itself
Afternoon With Cows
we bask
in autumn light
as time floats by
Serenity At The Oxbow
the river’s clarity
a love poem
to stillness
Resonance
echos of white
between
the river and birch
Dahlia in the Daises
bright blooms
autumn afternoons
departing soon
Hierarchy
at the river bend
triumvirate of hollyhock
bow to the current
Reading the Forested Landscape
October morning
the landscape’s poem
told in color and light
Good Morning
morning graze
the river flows
and songbirds serenade
Scale
a mountain of moss
grew its own forest
altering the dimensions of the world
Day Unveiled
morning crosses the river
sunlight lapping at my feet
Sunrise on the Oxbow
black and white
morning light
darkness in retreat
The View
irresistible invitation
work can wait
on the table
Stroll
promenade round the perimeter
cows stroll the oxbow
