grace remained
even after
your youth departed
Beauty Of The Spent Bloom
There It Was
the infinitesimal star
perhaps I didn’t see
but surely I believed
Pink Dawn
a sweet
cotton candy
day arrives
Rainbow Ends
the far end
of the rainbow
colors in the day
Wings
the hope
of flight
not without effort
Willing
great heron
in the green
waiting to be seen
Holding Up The Sky
snow sky
held high by
December morning’s tree
Faith
be still
in the darkness
for the light will find you
Outlier
snow balanced on limbs
daring the wind
to draw new silhouettes
Still
leaves newly gone
night unpacks her bags
no gloom in the glooming
At The Elegant Edge
outside the spotlight
of sunshine and sparkle
the silhouette of elegance
Purple Departure
offering colors to accompany us
through the long night
the day blooms at dusk
Night Meets Day
bare branches
still covered in night
receive the morning sky
Knock, knock
knocking on wood
his volume belies
his diminutive size
Holding the Space
facing the world
holding the space between them
safe and sacred
Undressed
a naked tree stands
in autumn’s boudoir
of pink and grey
Silhouette
sentry in the mist
guardian of daydreams
Slender Thread
We are tied to this earth
with a thread more slender and fragile
than the stem of a birch leaf in autumn.
Leafless
Black branches against brilliant blue
whispers of clouds wandering by
winter’s silhouette.
