set free
by the sun
run river run
Liberation
Once And Again
the river delivers
a splash
of blue sky
In The Stillness
the trees admire
their own
stately symmetry
February Narcissus
winter gazed
upon her own reflection
in the river
Searching For Flowers
in winter
it is the snow
that blooms
Madonna
mother
in granite
nature her child
Slow Rise
day emerged
leisurely
from its foggy sleep
Fluidity
water never tires
of the temperature’s
perpetual requirement of readjustment
The Day Rose Softly
the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks
Goddess’ Gift
ruby red traces
of Aphrodite’s shower of kisses
the world awakens to love
of Aphrodite’s shower of kisses
the world awakens to love
Broken
Taken down by the wind
now the the mighty pine
nourishes the river bank and bottom.
So goes the cycle of life.
First Red Tree
Along the great Long River
the first touch of Fall, a splash of red,
presents itself along the southern bank.
Fields
The fields form a patchwork quilt,
a growing green cover that reaches from the river bank to the mountains.
Tied together with labor and nurture for the purpose of sustenance.
