water, leaf and shadow
elemental mosaic
of mud season
Gold Leaf
temporary thaw reveals
winter’s gilding
of last year’s oak
Slow Waters
fountain in winter
slow flow
of ice and snow
River Frosted Pine
river cold
reaches up
frosting from below
Water’s Way
freeze and thaw
and shifting drifts
all leaning into life
Flow
oh to be
a leaf in the water
that shapes the rock
Sunday Afternoon
time is
best measured in
moments not minutes
Carried
leap of faith
the heron’s flight
all my dreams are carried
Morning Joy
wings wide
the day embraced
one with everything
Birch Brush
summer drawn
with wind and water
moving while still
Wild Ways
intrepid tree
grows in rock
eagle’s fishing spot
Intuition
at the water’s edge
in a world of green
the sense of being seen
Vision
amidst glimmer and glint
long legged glamour
gorgeousness afoot
Water Temple
elements in worship
limbs raised in prayer
reflection of faith
Merger
in the current of cattails
ripples of blossoms
as meadow melds with water
Origin
bluebird box
on the lily marsh
commencement of happiness
Revelation
each lily
opened as
a new understanding
At The Lake
the sight alone
of cool blue
refreshed
Green Mountain State
at the inlet
awash in green
wind and current confer
Lavender Glooming
the colors
wrap around us
we are held
in heaven’s embrace
Sunset Music
the sky sings
glory hallelujah
water sings the refrain
Sustenance
liquid leaves
and greens
spring’s soup
The Day Rose Softly
the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks
Illumination
fairy lights
these maple seeds
twinkle magic
Reach
winter’s long shadow
reaches for
the shore of spring
Bees
they buzz in bubbles
beneath the ice
water is their wings
Abstraction of March
a flux of
halted movement
the design of fleeting time
Permission
as ice gives its form to water
permission is granted to wander
Unknown Depth
the current carries
memory and hope
forward ever forward
Portend
the weather
dreamed of spring
in water eggs and feather ice
