a breath of fresh air
to carry us through
to true Spring
Full Voice
never too early
to sing
spring’s song
Silent Assembly
mysteries gather
in the misty woods
awaiting sunlight’s unveiling
Morning Again
it can never
be said enough
thank you
Narnia
white hooded woods
await
their queen
Stopped
silence falls
where there was song
shy bird
Saving Space
the woods
hold no mercy
only space for grace
Stepping Out
high heeled
cold struts
through January
Into The Gleaming
ice and light
how bright
the ordinary shines
Before You
the thing
to be loved is
what is
Until
all things balanced
until the wind shifts
and the redistribution of normal
Elemental Kindness
gentle snow
softening the world’s
hard edges
Unseen Seen
it was revealed
the intricate web
connecting everything
Encouragement
stepping stones
in the mossy path
invitation to the woods
At Beauty’s Behest
from the edge
of the pink woods
step into wonderland
Proportioned by Pines
up, up, up
the tall, tall pines
showing me my true proportion
The Expansion of Color
white birch
reflecting
fall’s gloriousness
Through
lone birch
shone the way
through dark woods
Humming Summer’s Tune
sound signals
a brief
appearance
Thee of Tree
all the ways
of being
residing together
Tiny Are All Beginnings
at the crest
of a moss mountain
a pine begins
Guests and Interlopers
wooded drive
fox and kit
greet and discourage
Rock Split Pine
rock moss
pine and shadow
agelessness exemplified
Movement Without Moving
even the stationary rock
will cross the line
in due time
Maple Blush
the landscape wears
a rosy glow
arousing all of spring
Master Molecule
sharp shadow
etched into bare ground
tree’s template
Start
tiny specks of green
cultivating all of spring
profundity of small sensibilities
Archway
bent tree arch
sacred passage
into transforming woods
The Usefulness Of Everything
bark, branch and leaf
pay their debt to the earth
with themselves
Hydrangea Alighted
last year’s bloom
basking in
this spring’s sunshine
