moon

decorations

ribbons of moss

amid a few leaves

the old oak

lights

traffic jam

a string of tail lights

across the bridge

echo

closing the door

sleigh bells echo

down the hall

peace

seeking peace

a cold day plays me

leaf shadows

early

just before water takes shape early bird

silent

silent water

i am just a soul

passing by

starlight

cello strings

over dark water

a star and i

shiver

two doves

a dead limb shivers

as they settle

something

searching for something i might never have had morning light

change

one more day

without sand in my toes

coastal flooding

in each sip

a hint of ocean

nor’easter

the prairie leans

into dusk

a canoe floats past

my kitchen window

adagio

sunrise

adagio for clouds

on water

wish

a penny’s worth

the silence of a wish

disappearing 

after

burnt sage

the fragrance of night

the morning after

ripples

a fish falls

from an osprey’s grasp

cloud ripples

one ant

leads to another

summer picnic

worry stone

three skips closer

to sunset

scallions

on the cutting board

fading light

is all it takes

the sound of sneaking

home late

sunrise

a new fragrance 

warms the old trail
