winter rain -
without flowers
i draw one
in the woods
how nice to be
just a shadow
starless
the mountain erupts
with headlights
fingers dancing
a child draws stories
in the air
holiday traffic
watching mountains grow
in the distance
cold front
a heron steps
from the mist
late day sun
an owl-shaped shadow
takes the cypress
marsh blackbirds
in the curve of reeds
midday sun
an eagle climbs
the back of a cloud
autumn evening
deep forest
afternoon passes
tree by tree
midnight walk
following the dog's nose
through the park
gray morning
the sound of
a red canoe
halfway there
a tail wind offers
the rest of the way
a spark floats
to the forest floor
fall colors
a hawk slips
between the colors
river twilight
after sixty
to become a poet
one fall day
the lizard grows
a new tail
our shadows touch
then pass on by
northerly wind
autumn haze
all i'll never know
about the sea
considering drought
the gravity
of a puddle
city night
old enough to hear
a distant sea
old tree
my daydream reaches
the highest branch
