the river
pauses to admire
the bloom
River Crossing
ripples reveal
the zig zag ways
of paddling paws
Engineering Work
the dam’s
first structural component
carefully selected and prepared
Bee Boxes
hives stir
as the river melts
quiet workings of spring
Layers
between
the trees and snow
time hibernates
Symmetry
as you are
so
you give
Into The Calm
slow deep breath
long light sigh
again then again
Serenity At The Oxbow
the river’s clarity
a love poem
to stillness
Time’s Sculpture
every edge
sharpened by cold
carving it’s shape into air
Rain In The River
rain
hurries the river
ever increasing her curves
Slow Rise
day emerged
leisurely
from its foggy sleep
On The Terrace By The Connecticut
river rushes by
flowers take
their time
Projection
reflection
already where
canoes want to be
Stars In The River
galaxies
wash up
on the shore
Three Canoes
place holder
for our reentry
into the wild world
All The Time In The World
shadows
telling time
no need to hurry
Fluidity
water never tires
of the temperature’s
perpetual requirement of readjustment
Eyelet River
lacing the surface
cold threading
shore to shore
Creation
amidst snow
and fading light
the river abstracted
Suspension
first flurry
winter whispers
the world is hushed
Dahlia in the Daises
bright blooms
autumn afternoons
departing soon
Signs
sacred arrow
points
toward destiny
Freedom
deep green
afternoon
light blue canoe
Hierarchy
at the river bend
triumvirate of hollyhock
bow to the current
River Moon
in the frozen river
resides the moon’s
mysterious landscape of light
The Change Space
mysteries of the space
in between the thing
and how it is seen
River Wilds
leopard spots
zebra stripes
camouflage of ice
River Frosted Pine
river cold
reaches up
frosting from below
Water’s Way
freeze and thaw
and shifting drifts
all leaning into life
A Lingering
red canoe
a memory
of summer’s kiss
