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
Expansion
as the marsh
whispered her secrets
the water spun light into gold
Here
swim the sky
fly the water
heaven is on earth
Spirit Guide
always nearby
awaiting notice
guiding the way
Kasco
rising
into flight
spirit casting shadow
Talisman
heron in the morning light
blesses the unfolding future
Paradox
uncertainty embraced
calm ensues
amidst chaos
Message in the Mirror
reflection reveals
how things are
rooted in light
Space and Time
pines bookend time
their reflections
a parallel universe’s tomorrow
Promise of Promise
leaves still illuminated
by last summer’s light
promising of her return
Cold Gold
moon dust and magic
feather the window
in fairies’ cold gold
Fluid
last of the green leaves
make a watery autumn departure
Watercolor
the ripple of birch
a wash of maple, ash and pine
soft autumn seen
Glide
in a silent world
where the self is heard
motion is effortless
Revealed
nature reflects
the whole
of everything
Bird Bath
the side yard
a sanctuary
for feathered friends
Sail Away
a shimmer of sunlight
the kiss of the breeze
and cares sail away
Mirror
the pond reflects
life’s web of connections
the artistry of now
With The Sky At My Feet
in the cool of the woods
at the edge of the clearing
quiet brings clarity of thought
Willow Pond
the lace of early spring
the elegance of willow green
twice seen
Queen Anne
in her final season
still she reigns supreme
Tree Tales
their shadows tell the stories
the trees themselves
cannot utter
Layers
the pond is a mirror
that magnifies beauty
Liquid Leaves
The pond and wind
conspired
to turn the leaves to liquid.
Monet’s Pond
Trees and water,
shadows and light,
shimmer and ripple,
paint today’s ephemeral masterpiece
Familiar Stranger
A goose glides around the pond
keeping company with its reflection.
Reflection
Winter’s still life
dances in the water.
