hatch
on the lake
bird’s buffet
Backward Glance
filled with instinct
no doubts exist
smirking confidence
Rain Pond
on quenched earth
rain becomes
reflections of the day
Perceptions
reflective mood
each perspective
a new understanding
Distillation
winter’s gift
distilled down
into the sky blue pond
Rush
months of stillness
liberated by
the freeing sun
River Moon
in the frozen river
resides the moon’s
mysterious landscape of light
Picket Fences
ignoring the gate
time and weather
pass on through
March Madness
when spring seems
inevitable and impossible
all at once
The Change Space
mysteries of the space
in between the thing
and how it is seen
Under The Overpass
nature travels
humble hallowed byways
that always lead home
Reading the Forested Landscape
October morning
the landscape’s poem
told in color and light
Cloud Moon
to be a moon
in the bright blue sky
a cloud’s dream realized
Birch Brush
summer drawn
with wind and water
moving while still
Intuition
at the water’s edge
in a world of green
the sense of being seen
Vision
amidst glimmer and glint
long legged glamour
gorgeousness afoot
Respite
navigating stillness
by the paddle drip’s song
peace within reach
Water Temple
elements in worship
limbs raised in prayer
reflection of faith
Green Mountain State
at the inlet
awash in green
wind and current confer
Sunset Music
the sky sings
glory hallelujah
water sings the refrain
Alternate Days
taking turns with sunshine
grey skies and rain drops
encourage the greening landscape
The Day Rose Softly
the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks
Reach
winter’s long shadow
reaches for
the shore of spring
Discovery
from the river’s surface
the tree looked up at me
delivering heaven at my feet
A Hush
snow fell
like the earth’s sighs
quieting all concerns
Solstice
a pause
before the sun’s reversal
and our heading into light
Slumber
december glooming
dark light on the marsh
this is where shadows sleep
Whispers
the colors are
a whisper now
winter’s quiet inches in
River Dance
light dances
across the surface
leaving footprints of joy
Mystique
animating stillness
personifying patience
seer, seeker, soothsayer
