time can
smooth and soften
the broken hard heart
Unruly
the rock wore
twirls of curly moss
upon it’s hard headed crown
Admiration
slowly goes the snail
admiring everything
knowing flowers will wait
to be seen
Telling Time
river silt
the tide’s clock
chimes in ripples
Opening
seat of knowledge
where the rock split
Buddha sits
Rock of Ages
the ancient rock
with its sleepy eye
watches all of time
travel by
Abode
time and weather
downed the tree and birdhouse
chipmunk’s new abode
Tour De Force
every molecule conspired
rendering the common rock
into a masterpiece
Wedded
stonecrop on rock
the marriage of time
eternal and fleeting
En Masse
a pink cascade
rushes over
rocks
Raconteur
the story
twice told
self and shadow
Bang
the frozen rock
a crack
the world is born
Red on Rock
hot red begonia
rests against the cool granite
summer lovers
Perspective
flowering planet
blooming purple orb
the ant’s north star
Bleeding Heart
open and exposed
to every joy and sorrow
exquisite vulnerability
With The Sky At My Feet
in the cool of the woods
at the edge of the clearing
quiet brings clarity of thought
These Things
the rock, the stump
the birch bird house
these are the things
that stand in winter
Between
It is in the space
where there is nothing
that everything resides.
Wandering Star
A planet comprised
of rock and moss
rests in the yard.
Incubating
Rocks are the eggs
that time lays.
Balance
becomes possible
by accepting
circumstances.
Rock Blossom
Granite grows a rose
with lichen petals and lichen leaves.
Panta rhei
The flower has turned to pod
the warmth of the sun belies the bite in the breeze
everything flows.
Behold the Toad
Noble garden sentry
Finding Place
The place to be
is precisely where you are.
Big Rock
Sit on the big rock
in the sunshine by the river.
Let the water wash your worries away.
Let the birds sing the song in your heart.
Unfolding
Rock, moss, raffia of grass
the sprouting of leaves.
Resurrection.
Shamrock
Green is the color of life.
Fuzzy Rock
Baby squirrel
hides behind his tail
braving predators for sunshine.
Sabbath
The shadow of a trinity of trees across rock
marks one of many spots to worship in the woods.
