colors gather and intensify
until they burst
into bud, blossom and leaf
The Energy Of Spring Seen
At The Pond
still waters
slow wandering clouds
I pause to let the peace seep into me
Diversion
the beavers’ work
the field now
a vernal pond
Mud Season Encroaches
holding on to cold
the pond
an icy island
Spring’s Aura
almost invisibly the willow
begins to emanate
her green energy field
An Artist At Work
each underwater stroke
ripples the surface
new abstractions of reflections
The Season’s Fashion
the myriad ways
winter wears white
in snow and ice, birch and cloud
In An Instant
a single ray of light
splits the darkness open
an entrance for possibilities
Water’s Geometry
a point drops
and races into a line
to become a circle
Comfort
the web of life
seen and unseen
always holding us together
Generosity
in infinite varieties
the giving goodness
of green
At Once Twice Seen
water lily’s
doppelgänger
pierces the pond
The Pond Opened For Song
opening ceremony
the joyful croaking chorus
of peepers peeping
Ducks Readying For Diving
opening the pond by
pecking away
the frozen edges
The Song Of Silence
deep in the woods
on the frozen vernal pond
the music played on
In The Winter
we walk on water
into the magic
of the green island
Atop The Rock
alone
while together
with everything
Blue Canoe
ready for adventure
one paddle
already dipped in
First One Bloom Then…
like ripples on a pond
the blooms go on and on
The Maple’s Ghost
floated by
gracefully entering
the next dimension
Frog Song
rain on
peepers pond
the chorus crescendos
Secrets
winter gathers
at the pond’s edge
hiding cold amongst the reeds
Nature Map
there be dragons
on the pond
alighting on the asters
The Trees Abstracted
water offers
a reflective reminder
of life’s fragile fluidity
Time Enough
day moved slow
as cow and ducks
listened to the grass grow
Rain Pond
on quenched earth
rain becomes
reflections of the day
Perceptions
reflective mood
each perspective
a new understanding
Ancients
these limbs embrace
each season’s passage
cradling the transient now
Distillation
winter’s gift
distilled down
into the sky blue pond
Winter Dreams
in the comfort of cattails
keeping watch
frogs and fish fast asleep
