the young tree’s shadow
rests upon its near elder
receiving sacred reassurance
How The Spirit Leans
Painterly Spirit
splashes of color
across the lawn
Pollock’s spirit in the garden
I Remember
the sweet comfort
of your companionship
felt now at the sighting of our flower
To Wear A Cloud
let go of everything
but your most essential elements
then raise your limbs high and wide
Holding Space
summer’s ghost
saving a place
for her corporeal self
The Spirit Moves
between shimmer and shine
the transcendental curve
of the heron
All Around
sacred ground
my footprints
with the spirits
Come Along
ground bound
my spirit soars
in tandem with their flight
Reveal
in the fog of snow and cold
the spirit of the woods
comes closer
To Thy Own Self
a leaf revealed
in the decomposing bark
spirit endures
A Cure
be with
a dahlia bathed in sunlight
and feel your spirit rise
Basking
washed with heat
colors cleaned
spirit revived
Sharing Blossoms
to catch a butterfly’s eye
be still enough to recognize
a kindred spirit
At The Edge Of A New Day I Wonder
what spirits reside
in that rising mist
what will they teach today?
I Am Lifted
silently you rise
taking my spirit
with you
Being Found
nocturnal friend’s
afternoon visit delivers
a message of hope
Safe Harbor
anchors down
spirits buoyed
by community
She Remains Near
Nana’s spirit
wafting through the garden
on the scent of roses
Wander The Garden
the spirit restores
finding the space of place
along gracious paths
Unassuming Yarrow
mends the body
re-awakens the spirit
a healer for centuries
Blending In
wearing the colors
of your surrounds
your spirit flashes through
Shade Upon Shade Of Blue
with my eyes
I wade into the sky
to cleanse and refresh my spirit
Cathy’s Chrysanthemums
her spirit visits
each year bringing us
flowers to remember her with
Renewal
autumn’s intensity
of color and light
renews my spirit
Cardinal
sighting you
brings delight
as deep as your color
Alighted Illumination
one leaf only
chosen
by the light
Seen From Above
heaven’s clouds recognize
the tiny speck
as the church’s steeple
Two Came Together
summertime visit
from dear friends
long departed
Granite Face
head cocked
piercing eye
shy smile
No Longer A Stranger
in nature found
a reacquaintance
with self
