reflection reveals
how things are
rooted in light
Tag: reeds
Daring
life requires hope
the world
must be trusted
The Look
breath held
drawing strength from stillness
mother eyes the giant intruder
Fallen
autumn’s accord
birch branch wears
the shadows of reeds
The Path
humble muddy beginnings
give rise to the feat of floating
Breath
a frog jumps
the pond breathes
in ripples
Still Waters
wind ripples
the lake’s still waters
and depth of life
In Lingering Ice
lonesome for the red winged
longing for the frogs’ calls
believing in the sun
cattails wait
Determination
pines and reeds
hold tight to their colors
as winter whitens the landscape
Reflection
Winter’s still life
dances in the water.
Winter’s Approach
Ice creeps across the marsh.
Pine trees await their white winter coats.
Cold sharpens the silence.
Opening
the entrance to the marsh
calls
be part of the peacefulness
Reading Signs
Pampas grass flags
document the speed and direction of the wind.
Reeds
When the reeds begin to sing their rustling song of early Fall
the geese know it is time to prepare for their pilgrimage south.
