in the presence
of transience’s beauty
peace flows
Light And Water Falls
Autumn Shore
this tide
pulls summer
into the blue depths
October Tableau
the shadows and leaves
a collage
depicting time
Faith In Mystery
there was
a needed reassurance
in the river’s soft corner
The Bridge
hear the sound of dog steps
joyfully crossing
back and forth
Linger Like The Light
in the ever moving stream
there are pools of calm
to be found
Like Life
the tide withdrew
and left behind
hard and soft combined
Falling Into Blue
the sky, the ocean
and the shade too
all falling into blue
Changed But Still Open
to flow
like water over rock
through heartbreak and hardship
Rock Hopping
chasing warmth
autumn light traverses
the rocky river bed
December Roses
rosied by cold
snuggled into rocks
a carpet of bloom
Mammut Of Maine
the Maine shore
a rock muscled mastodon
in kelp fur
Rock Koi Swim
beneath the surface
orange rocks swim like koi
undulating with the current and the wind
Simplicity
unencumbered
by pretension
pure perfection
Rock Wall: An Origin Of Necessity
the fields cleared for planting
the crops rocky impediment
are now their border and protection
Pillows Of Thought
winter dreams
mounded on rocks
dissipating into day
Solidarity
secrets shared
between
rocks and ice
Moss And Snow
seeming strange bedfellows
yet nestled sweetly together
companions during winter’s long sleep
Falling Water
locals call
the swimming hole
before the falls
chutes
Drawn By The Wind And The Light
beneath the waterfall
everything’s in motion
even logs and stones
The Trickle, The Flow, The Rush
water knows
a thousand ways
to reach her destination
Water Cairns
stone memories
commemorating place
in the passage of time
Popping Out
out of the burrow
into the sun
stirrings of spring have begun
The Waterfall Late November
part frozen
part motion
perfection
What’s In A Name?
call me
by my real name
groused the pheasant
Spring Fling
the rock garden
a riot of color
bursting into bloom
Protection
last year’s thorns
guard
this year’s growth
Wily Escape
released
by the sun
back on the run
Letting The Light In
through vulnerabilities
we meet each other
and find ourselves
Time Tags Light
shadows chase
late afternoon
through the woods
