eavesdropping
on the conversation
between the water and the rain
Relativity
in the velocity of observation
it is the small that gives
grandeur to the larger
Pace
corners are for bustle
curves and bends
are where I like to wander
Below the Surface
in the still beneath
rain is a caress
water’s breath
Talisman
heron in the morning light
blesses the unfolding future
Preen
gloat worthy primping
much more than being clean
this attention to attractiveness
Paradox
uncertainty embraced
calm ensues
amidst chaos
Message in the Mirror
reflection reveals
how things are
rooted in light
Underworld
bottoms up
five dive
down
Source
lift and push
servant and master
well be the well
Afloat
lilies rose
the water bloomed
hope floats
Immersion
within
the depths
of bloom
Mossy Logs and Pollywogs
the verdant pond
green soup of life
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
The Migration of Melt
the brook breaks free
and runs for the river
longing to unite with the sea
Voyage
a melt, the freeze, then awe
an ocean to cross
to reach the shores of spring
Shatterings
each crack and shattering
revealed new connections
and the permanence of change
Stroll
promenade round the perimeter
cows stroll the oxbow
Fluid
last of the green leaves
make a watery autumn departure
Clean
the flock bathes
in clear waters and pools of sunlight
splash splash community bath
Present
here now
heron holds tight
to the present moment
The Wind Is Monet’s Brush
the changing light
the passage of the season
painted on the canvas of the pond
The Kingdom
the heron presides
over his kingdom’s
changing colors
Preen
pretty is
as
pretty does
Kaleidoscope
kalos eidos
beautiful beauty
to be seen
Infinity
a gathering
of dew drops
individuality transcended
Glide
in a silent world
where the self is heard
motion is effortless
Revealed
nature reflects
the whole
of everything
River Bank
I invest my time
at the river’s bank
serenity is my yield
