Water’s Way


Cold that is no longer snow
makes a mad dash down the brook
rushing towards spring, trying to catch summer.

Change


Corn tassels have browned
mist ushers in the morning
plants and weather are our time keepers.

Mud


The fifth season is mud season.
The earth is liquid with rain and snow melt,
rich with nutrients and brimming with the beginnings of new life.
Magnificent primordial ooze.

Mountains beyond Mountains


You may recognize the mountain by name or shape
but to truly know her is to walk the contours of her mass,
to watch her reveal the secrets of the seasons,
to remember and to feel the spirits of all the other feet
who have touched her and whose hearts have found home.

October Morning

Color moves across the mountains
in a dazzling display of transitions
before the stark beauty of winter descends.

Antler Alter

Antlers embrace pods from the Japanese maple tree,
a shrine to the seasons of life and bounty of Sunday Mountain,
a place to worship.
