wise ones
these three birch
overseeing season’s change
Caretakers
A Reunion Of Experience
the old barn
amongst new leaves
each teaching the other
Storing Knowledge
the wisdom of the woods
upon a mushroom shelf
One Wise Knot Hole Eye
reached across
the freezing brook
Three Birch
like wise men
they stood vigil
over life’s miracle
Beneath The Wise Gaze Of The Pines By The Barn
during shorter days
amidst longer shadows
we ready for winter
Answered
the pines
asked no questions
all was answered in being
Gazing into Eternity
thoughtful
wise eye
sees beyond
You Again, Wise Friend
the look that speaks
an instruction
to be true
Dendrites
wisdom grown
of fear or love
the web becomes the path
Confidence in Elders
counsel sought
of two great pines
knowledge shared in silence
Lessons from the Ancient Ones
beauty in being
an obligation
mindfully met
Between Trees
now that I’ve found you
every trail leads
to your wise counsel
Emergence
wisdom lies
in the embrace
of not knowing
The Positives of Negative Space
beauty’s wisdom
form follows function
abstraction of nasturtiums
Snow Maiden
grounded
in the power of the earth
she hears and heeds
the spirit winds’
whispers of wisdom
Sage
the sage knows
the only time
is now
Oracle Tree
shadows of leaves
dance on the snow
wise is the oak
Giants
right sized
I rest
in their wisdom
Tree Tales
their shadows tell the stories
the trees themselves
cannot utter
Learning Tree
the elder trees encourage
the young sapling to
show its joy in color
Herd Wisdom
What kind of cows have wheels and honk?
The young one wonders.
Dumb ones. The older ones know.
