the thrum
of wings hovering
stillness in motion
Reverence
moment of stillness
gratitude
for this day
Attuned To Life
alert
to the mysteries of
what happens next
Love Bite
entwined
in a violent affair
snakes mate
Summit of the Small and Large
oriole and eagle
the meeting
of beauty and power
Omnivore
who knew?
chipmunks are
the early birds
White Flags Departure
white flags raised
the field
is surrendered
Freedom Flyers
the old dead tree
these hunters’
totem of life
Bohemians
unfettered
by norms and conventions
free spirits perch
All The Time In The World
shadows
telling time
no need to hurry
The Last Word
don’t you
fly away when
I’m chirping at you
Out and About
a breath of fresh air
to carry us through
to true Spring
Stopped
silence falls
where there was song
shy bird
Birds At The Box
tending and guarding
the vigilant work
of parenting
Morning Sojourn
solitary amble
in the domain
of the ferns
Loon’s Nest
as she sits
creation is constructed of
stillness and patience
Reflection of Flight
hatch
on the lake
bird’s buffet
Backward Glance
filled with instinct
no doubts exist
smirking confidence
Enunciation
sacred sound
the cry of life
effort and sacrifice
Vision Guide
to be seen
over the eagle’s shoulder
invitation to spiritual quest
Deep Listening
tuned
to the sounds
of green things growing
Port in the Storm
hanging on
with gratitude
for what is available
Neighbor
good morning, good morning
another new day made
for us to share
You Again, Wise Friend
the look that speaks
an instruction
to be true
Resonance
in the echo
your song
is sung anew
Considerations
scurry and hurry of gathering
or
savor the warmth of the sun
Carried
leap of faith
the heron’s flight
all my dreams are carried
At The Elegant Edge
outside the spotlight
of sunshine and sparkle
the silhouette of elegance
Vision
amidst glimmer and glint
long legged glamour
gorgeousness afoot
Fleeting Youth
half covered
in her baby pelt
dashing toward adulthood
