revealing the sense
of being solitary
inside togetherness
The Orchard In Winter
Just Two
all that is needed
that other one
to inhabit the world with
Reaching For Each Other
stepping stones
growing into the whole
of a frozen crossing
A Place For Togetherness
let’s not let
the picnic bench
be lonely
Birch Family
together enduring
the winter wind’s pruning
cleaved unto each other
Atop The Rock
alone
while together
with everything
A Marriage Of Maple And Birch
distinct
and yet
together
Two Birds
the expanse of the sky
was unfathomable
so they flew together
Still Life
cold holds together
the elements
of March’s mosaic
Not One Alone
every berry
provided with
companionship
They Dwell Together
length of birch
layers of brick
swirling of snow
Two Chairs On The Path
together we sit
and wait for fall’s
parade of color
Our Close Proximity
the storm
an instruction
of togetherness
Together
taking in sunshine
in the warmth
of each other
Needles and Thread
evergreen thread
stitching together
each season to the next
Leaf and Twig
both separated
from the tree
yet still entwined
Together
nothing in common
but proximity of place
root enough for community
Home Together
place
made known
by stone and heart
Growing Droplets
diminutive ones
ride the curve
to coalescence
Entwined
milkweed pods
and raspberry canes
lovers entwined
Peacefully
everything found
its perfect place
to be
Being A Part
solitude
inside community
being a part of the whole
Together
keep an eye on the road
and a head in the weeds
and bring all your quills home
Collective
six stones
supported by
the rest of the rock wall
Unity
keeping things together
rather than apart
the old fence embraces
autumn’s abundance of goldenrod
Together
each needle of the thistle seeks
the thread that holds us together
Diplomacy
the skillful birch
holds opposites together
Demonstration
Gathered together
simple blossoms
demonstrate peace.
