Photo: Taken at the beach on a end-of-summer day, hurricane was in the winds. As the waves swept back out to sea I got this shot. Very shiny!!
wind and rain
torturing young leaves
– bruised buds
mountain trail –
the silence broken
monk’s footsteps
river calms –
summer breeze hugs frame
as she strolls
snow atop
sparrow’s evergreen –
now, blue sky

Full Circle
Photo: Taken on the butterfly bush outside my window, a windy day.
misty rain
sprinkling young leaves..
tender buds
in mountain vistas
therapeutic silence..
a monk contemplates
sounds from the river
feel of balmy summer breeze..
she sits with eyes closed
before the first snow
sparrows feast on red berries..
gray replace blue sky

Mountain
on this mountain path
I pause, lost in
the poetry of it all
with each pause
the path feels clearer

Echoes of My Neighborhood
This week my neighborhood is more suburban than urban. I am in the mountains breathing good air, and getting good sleep.
last night the rains came
nature’s lullaby
dreams danced in childhood
Twin maples, now bare
The smallest of the forsythia bushes, such curves.
Something was slittering through the crunchy ice
Remnants of fall long gone
That picnic table is doomed after many harsh winters
Old mini cabin holding secrets of tiny creatures
Crunchy snow and ice along upper edges of the creek
The winter sun was starting to set the light on the water was captivating.

Mountain Mists
mountain mists
gray clouds conspire
then comes the sun

cloud peaks
how many have crumbled
