hymns on the wind
stained glass leaves
cathedral of trees
Autumn’s Paint
colors run
in the wild
wet woods
Heard Thoughts
woods echo
the bluejay’s thoughts
answering unasked questions
Grace
the world
leafs out and blossoms
answering all lingering
winter prayers
Room To Grow
every leaf bud revels
in the space
reserved for their expansion
Alike
the leaf’s
life story is told
in age spots and veins
Wave of Blue
beneath barbed wire
spring infiltrates
the woods
Traces
red buds
spring’s fingerprints
on the white woods
Dirty Knees
mud season
mother earth’s
warm fertile embrace
Awakening
invisible
is the rousing
of the drowsy woods
Heaven’s Reach
spring snow
stars
at my fingertips
Promise of Promise
leaves still illuminated
by last summer’s light
promising of her return
Now
clarity found
in the misty woods
eternity is always now
Seeing Through
seek
intimacy with existence
look without naming
Neighbor
rest and nest
in a house in the woods
where wind is the nearest neighbor
Oblation
in the oak leaf’s golden goblet
diamond dust and light
an offering to the gods of winter
The Path
peacefulness travels
the snow covered bridge
welcome it home
Repast
banquet on the vine
feast for feathered friends
Indecision
woods wrapped
in a shroud of cold
elements undecided
more rain or snow
Hold Fast
our hearts recognize each other
let them touch and then hold fast
like birch in snow
never letting go
Snowy Woods
it is my thoughts that wander
into the snowy woods
finding their path towards peace
The Way
through the diamond woods
on the stardust path
is the way
to snow queen’s palace
True Size
big snow, tall trees
reminders of
how tiny we are
Winter’s White Dress
it comes and comes and covers all
the ground, the trees and all of fall
Hushed
quietest of sounds
autumn being sshh’d
first snow filling the woods
Three Berry Cottage
at the meadow’s edge
where the woods begin
three berry cottage awaits
her chance to comfort and contain
Convocation
a murder in the birch
the only victim time
Enchantment
the pink forest
beckons
magic is afoot
Red Dress
The maple
in her red dress
turns heads
Away
far far away
perched near the sky
a pasture and house
watch the world go by
