clouds smolder
their red embers
igniting the water’s edge
Being A Part
solitude
inside community
being a part of the whole
Tall Teachers
lessons take time
learning has no end
our subject is everything
Worship
hymns on the wind
stained glass leaves
cathedral of trees
Autumn’s Paint
colors run
in the wild
wet woods
Dreams
the landscape dreams
in wisps of mist
and mystery
Sometimes
the grass is greener
right where you are
Recognition
beauty is everywhere
calling out to me
if I recognize my name
What The Field Watches
pumpkin on the mill stone
and so the seasons turn
Divine Pink Sky
heaven
brushed against
the landscape
Old Fashioned
considered square
these old time rectangles
are far more picturesque
than newfangled marshmallows
Emergence
wisdom lies
in the embrace
of not knowing
Pink Cloud Blue Moon
pink clouds wisped by
grace note of
a perfect day
Sunflowers
beaming in the hot sun
best beheld from the cool
depths of woodland shade
Beneath The Palisades
barn catches
the morning sun
another beginning begun
Sensei
each step
through sun or shadow
requires balance
Filtered Light
moody morning
the misty mountain
ruminates
Paradox
set free
by the fence
uninhibited and unafraid
delphinium bloom with abandon
Invitation
the whole wide world awaits
outside the garden gate
Countryseat
in their meadow kingdom
lupin minarets flank
bluebirds’ castle
Arrival
summer flew in
on the wide blue sky
and landed in the greening field
Shooting Up
late spring
growth spurt
adolescent pine
Herd on the Hill
the gentle slope
the tender grass
sweet lazy grazing
Heard Thoughts
woods echo
the bluejay’s thoughts
answering unasked questions
Space and Time
pines bookend time
their reflections
a parallel universe’s tomorrow
Where Elements Rest
the May breeze
takes its holiday
at the marsh
Unveiled
all of the intricacies
of the universe
unfold in the maple blossom
Traces
red buds
spring’s fingerprints
on the white woods
The Life of Healing
near the heart
remains evidence
of a dark jagged year
that had to be grown around
Alighted
beam of sun
alights the treetops
infusing buds with life
