the wind
will send them into the world
these hopes for peace, equality, freedom
to take root in every nook and cranny of the land
Wishes Plant Hope
The Wind’s Flute
the woodpecker fashioned
tone and note holes
so the weather could sing
The Waltz
fine snow and the wind
gliding together
on the river dance floor
Fly Away Home
the seeds are feathered
and ready to fledge
on the nest north wind
Falling Fast
a flurry
of oak leaves
hurries towards winter
Copious Bloom
tiger lily tealights
like candles
in the wind
Awash In The Sun
poppy petals
watercolored papers
flutter in the wind
River Art
a reflection
of the fluttering
leaves
Dance Of Transformation
supple and brittle
dancing on their stems
leaves dervish in the wind
The Karat And Color Of Birch
gold-beaten by the wind
birch leaves
gild the landscape
Needles, Leaves, Reeds
the wind weaves
a tapestry
of elements and time
Beautiful Chaos
a tangle of leggy blooms
waltzing together
stem to shin
On the Terrace
even the granite
is somehow softened by the wind
and columbine’s enchanting dance
Ruffled And Still
old cattails clearly wind ruffled
but the red-wing’s every feather
remains perfectly in place
That Sweetness In The Air
it is
the maple wind
ushering in hope
A Tenacity Of Delicacy
thrown to the ground
by a punishing wind
intricacies undaunted
Bell In The Woods
rung only by the wind
calling out to winter
calling back to summer
Spinning Air
the wind
is the web
of the milkweed seed spider
Joyful Like Twinkle Lights
strings of columbine
waltzing in the wind
shimmy in the sun
Garden Sea Anemone
the wind
moves like water
raindrops are her capture
Lonely For Spring
the wind
still has no leaves
to speak with
The Sea Of Clouds
the wind a tide
in the fast moving sky
blue waves crash as clouds
Self Propelled
the birch’s ruffles
don’t need the wind
to flutter
Wind Break
even without leaves
still slowing the wind
the ceaseless work of trees
Birch Family
together enduring
the winter wind’s pruning
cleaved unto each other
Dandelion Ice
old man winter puffs
and ice flies
like dandelion fluff
When The Wind Blows
all the voices
of the leaves
rise in winter’s hymn
A Scattering
the lovely wind
left
kisses behind
So Many Seeds
soft like fur
a coat
ruffling in the wind
The Leaving Season
late autumn
time rushes by
like leaves on the wind
