River Rippling 07/19/2008

Life is a river -
in the stifling heat
watch waves rippling…

Shoulder 06/28/2008

Dawn mountain
bare shoulder
summer stirs…

Bare 06/17/2008

Bare Mountain top
patches blush
with first light -

Bear 06/12/2008

Awake Dreaming Bear -
in the white coat of wisdom
a teacher sniffs the dawn.

Moss 06/07/2008

Moss hanging
………………….from Maple trees
Sword Ferns stand still -
the cougar’s tail twitches…

…

Depression of paws
night time comes to sniff the lawn -
the hearth fire yawns…

…

Doors 06/05/2008

Open the morning
doors hear wet Blackbirds
delivering news of spring.

Born 06/02/2008

Dawn breaks a new month
cracked wide ! brimming with hope
geese go honking by…

…

Charity starts at home
(so the adage goes)
self-care saves the world despair.

…

Yearning for protein…
Born-again Carnivore
in sacred contact.

Retrograde 06/01/2008

… frustrated tension …
confused – dripping mercury
falling backwards.

Whistling 05/25/2008

The wind at dawn
rustles every robin
……….whistling.

Waves 05/23/2008

Waves of gentle sound
rise and fall on my mind’s shores
circulating breath.
