winged maple seeds
perched on the branch
fluttering in the wind
Winter’s Butterflies
Wait Together
fog has made
the world small
but still big enough
Right Behind Us
perched in bare branches
just over his shoulder
is autumn then winter
A Heart Can Hold Everything
shadow bird
perched inside
the lily’s heart
Ruffled And Still
old cattails clearly wind ruffled
but the red-wing’s every feather
remains perfectly in place
Being Found
nocturnal friend’s
afternoon visit delivers
a message of hope
Amongst Blooms
in the petaled shade
a monarch’s
momentary pause
Agricultural Adornment
pigeons
on the silo
like jewels on the crown
On The Cusp Of A New Day
taking in
the morning
reverie in the meadow
Your Name Is Your Badge
a single red feather
atop your tail
announces who you are
Bravery
to be
in the world
just as you are
Keeping Watch
turned towards
the north and south
eyes keen for change
Keeping Watch
at summer’s threshold
a redwing
stands sentry
Here We Are
looking
for you
you found me
Respect
snow upon snow
winter teaching
us her name
Matching Outfits
bird
and flowers
dressed alike
Three’s Philosophy
trinity
in the trees
what was, is, will be
You Again, Wise Friend
the look that speaks
an instruction
to be true
