everyone’s fledged
the nest rests
as apples ripen
Garden Bench
in the company
of dahlias
beauty rests
The Day is Full of Gifts
take
a moment
in the sun
Twilight
the day
at rest
lavender gloaming
Synapse
signals sent
of bloom and rest and bloom
dormancy too must be received
Mountainside
black bird rests
in the red winter rose
snowfall’s tableau
Considerations
scurry and hurry of gathering
or
savor the warmth of the sun
On the East Knoll
lambs gentled the landscape
making space for weariness to rest
Of Corn And Cows
wealth of wealth
cows rest between
fertile fields of feed
Up In The Hay Loft
rest
in the lap
of summer
Deep Rest
fatigued
the old ladder
bows to the ground
Like to Like
soft as snow
feathered reeds
where winter will rest
Between the Field and the Clouds
with the crop given
the field speaks to the clouds
of respite and restoration
Downy in the Garden
a pause
from the pecking
resting on the rail
Arch of Hearts
in the garden
everything of importance happens
in its own time and way
Where Elements Rest
the May breeze
takes its holiday
at the marsh
Grasshopper
on the pebble path
a pause
to merge and rest
Red on Rock
hot red begonia
rests against the cool granite
summer lovers
Respite
noon time shade
and the company of flowers
completes my peace
Twilight
the sun sets
on monoliths
eternal rest is fenced
Dinosaur Birch
resting in the woods
massive muscular legs
roots her to the earth
Wandering Star
A planet comprised
of rock and moss
rests in the yard.
Next Year
The tractor rests
beside next years berry crop
hoping for a bumper.
Blue with Butterfly
Rest among the raindrops.
Blue flowers bloom without the sun.
Between
Between the seasons
a quiet pause
as the earth sighs.
Time
As the oak leaf rests on granite
millenniums cradle this season.
Quilted Sky
Tucked under a blanket of clouds
the river valley rests.
Nap Time
Late afternoon
the youngest ones
slumber on soft grass
Three Teepees
The beans have finished their teepee climb
now even the hammock sleeps
summer retreats
River Road
Take the slow way home along River Road.
Rest on the shoulder, marvel at the canopy of clouds.
