sunshine and blue sky
the safety and comfort of home
a grateful heart
This Day’s Gifts
A Cold Quiet Descends
the marsh
enveloped in
stillness and shadow
October Tableau
the shadows and leaves
a collage
depicting time
No Need For Nails
when architects are trees
the fallen a log bridge
a root an arch
Together
we walk through shadows
and last years leaves
determining a path to the future
Mabel Reminds Me How
to feel
my right to a place
in the world
Self Sufficiency
the sun reveals
last year’s leaves
nurturing new possibilities
A Glimmering Caught My Eye
the shimmer
in the shadows
reveals a tiny green rocket
Preparation For Fall
meadow, mountains, sky
intensify their colors
as shadows grow deeper
Juxtaposition
the surety of sharp lines
tempered by
the grace of curves
New England Directions
on the rise
past the shadows longer
than the long driveway
Willing
in the garden I begin to learn
how to let difficulties pass
like shadows across a petals
Morning Seats
we watch the day rise
and let the shadows lengthen
time is abundant among us
Snow Garden
with color subtracted
beauty solely articulated
in line and form
To Everything Its Counterpart
winter’s shadows
blue with cold
disputed by the sky
First Strangers Then Friends
deep in the woods
these three strangers
offered shelter
Call Of The Dappled Path
traverse the shadows
and the light
go greet the unknown
The Show Goes On
even empty
adirondacks are an audience
to nature
The Weather’s Hook And Thread
the new snow
crochets the woods
into lace
Drifting
mountains upon mountains
the wood’s topography
ever changing
The River Autonomous
breaking through
the shackles of cold
fleeing towards spring
February Garden
the bench
takes a sun bath
while imagining green
Layered Realms
fall submerged
beneath ice
and shadows
Big Pines
in the valley of the Taconics
centuries old pines
are time’s flagstaff
All Of Autumn
taking place
in a puddle
on the ground
On The Porch
in the peacefulness
it is possible
to dream as big as the sky
Happenings In Forest Time
sunshine makes for shade
as the river flows
and mushrooms grow
Magnolia Clouds
pure as a new spring day
the scented breeze
and petal’s shadow play
Morning Reveals
of a moonlight stroll
hoof prints amidst sparkle
Chasing Blue Skies
on the trail
our scouts
