sure

so sure

of the road i'm not taking

midday sun

trail's end

as far as

a sleeping snail

trail's end

like that

just like that

a gull leaves me

the purple dusk 

wake

in a city's wake

the quiet fragrance

of an empty shore

footsteps

swamp sparrow

i run out of footsteps

just beyond

trail

river of grass

how quietly the day

takes my trail

answer

an eagle cries

the sound of my voice

answering

almost

sunrise

the green quiet

almost a song

free

windless morning

a petal flutters free

the rose

pause

without pause

a river flows into

the sound of rapids

worry stone

moonrise

letting go

the worry stone

sunrise

speaking crow

a mockingbird's

sunrise service

snail

as if nothing

my morning plans

to a snail

what

what i love

about this day

first honeybee

pieces

an owl's path

so many pieces

of broken song

lost

longer days

the echo of wavelets

lost in gulls

pause

ruin in the woods

a perfect rosebud

pauses me

new

a new friend

morning is strange

in the mist

stone

river walk

in my hand the stone

too lovely to skip

heart

spring sound -

an old heart

still trembles

take

without care 

an eagle takes 

the silence of vultures 

eyes

cave

depths

crawling

into

the

eyes

of

a

skunk

off key

that one frog

slightly off key

wild oranges

still

water's edge

the legs of a fawn

still quivering 

reason

fence line

for no reason

a waiting sparrow

calm

afternoon heat

a patchwork of lotus

calms the pond 

shape

blackbird shadow -

the shape of wind

playing the reeds

time

lizard tail . . 

the time it takes

a dreaming cat 

mayflies

mayflies . . 

my newfound love of

tortillas 

found

fifteen minutes

from nowhere

found by stars

dusk

the scent of dusk

is it always this sweet?

mating season

just

just as

the branch falls

frog on a lily 

fireflies

may day the calligraphy of fireflies
