nowhere

as if

from nowhere

rain lily

take

frost covered field

crows take the silence

of pumpkins

morning

migration

that part of morning

where everyone sings

my way

back country roads 

old mimosa trees 

going my way 

into

bare trees black against the stars falling into

close

how gently

you draw me close

evening sky 

beautiful

a winter's walk

how beautiful, i exclaim

to no one

rain

day of rain

the mailman's tail lights

long after

love song

milkweed seed

breath by breath a love song

crosses the prairie

waiting

mulberry buds

the quiet of a mockingbird 

waiting for spring 

first

last night's rain

i could be first

to go this way

storm

storm tide

the sun bleached shadow

of a toy boat

smooth

smooth afternoon

losing my daydream

to a crow

warm spell

warm spell

your voice in my dreams

mosquito

two

first dandelion

the two of us

on a sunny day

early

early rise 

mint tea steaming 

in a cold moon 

silver

cold mist

a hawk's cry beyond

is silver

firebird

firebird . . 

over the mantle

shadows take flight

meadow

meadow grass

a wave of starlings

rolls westward

city streets

city streets the urge to follow a seagull

the way

finding the way

through winter fields

cloud shadows 

down

the way of rain . . 

today disappears

down the highway

mango

coldest night

in a snow white bowl

mango salsa

counting

counting stars until they're gone pond ripples

become

a ribbon of mist 

becomes a stream

frozen morning

perfect

future perfect

shadows deep within

a seedpod

colour

so much colour

for a rainy day

redbird song

moment

sunset through trees

a moment of mozart

is enough

evensong

among lazy reeds

the murmur of ducks

evensong

anything

january morning

i could be anything

in the fog

reflection

scudding clouds 

carrying my sleepy eyes 

across the mirror
