gliding through
the light and shadow
of life on life’s terms
Belief
the power
to rise
intention under wings
Summertime
the practice
of doing
nothing
Ripples
each line
a marker
of time
Projection
reflection
already where
canoes want to be
The Maple’s Ghost
floated by
gracefully entering
the next dimension
Stars In The River
galaxies
wash up
on the shore
Inversion
water mirror
sets everything
on top of itself
Stop Action
the world stirs
then stops again
spring’s incremental approach
Fluidity
water never tires
of the temperature’s
perpetual requirement of readjustment
Trimming
the eaves
wear a tatting of ice
fastened by a shuttle of cold
Becoming One Another
the icing pond
receiving rain
so many ways to be
What the Flowers Taught the Snow
aster’s blooms
each individualized
inspiration to snowflakes
Secrets
winter gathers
at the pond’s edge
hiding cold amongst the reeds
The Brook
still running
before cold takes hold
and water stills
The Trees Abstracted
water offers
a reflective reminder
of life’s fragile fluidity
Microcosm of the Universe
marsh made
mandala
the cosmos arose
Signs
sacred arrow
points
toward destiny
With An Open Heart
receive
the gift
of now
The Amplification of Being
deep silence
listening to
the shadows move
Refuge in Blue
sun and shade
sanctuary
at the lake
Loon’s Nest
as she sits
creation is constructed of
stillness and patience
Pursuit
stalking fish
warrior feathers
on ruffled heron
Wood Bone
sun bleached
tree’s remains
the landscape’s carcass
Backward Glance
filled with instinct
no doubts exist
smirking confidence
Time Enough
day moved slow
as cow and ducks
listened to the grass grow
Ground Control
tulip tip
rocket ship
powered by color
Perceptions
reflective mood
each perspective
a new understanding
Distillation
winter’s gift
distilled down
into the sky blue pond
Rush
months of stillness
liberated by
the freeing sun
