pass

i pass on by

the web she weaves

window cleaning

plum blossoms

in shades of plum the horizon between storms

bluebird

faraway

he talks of snow

bluebirds nesting

owl

the owl 

where moonlight gathers

the dog and i

frozen

frozen blueberries blending the sounds of breakfast

bare

i need no shoes

to know the season

bare toes

after

it grows still

after the storm

the palm tree

orion

last walk

the dog’s favorite spot

beneath orion

eyes

night vision

the touch of eyes

without face

between

shreds of sky

between its talons

sea eagle

bubble

lily pad a bubble trembles

home

winter dusk

five geese and i

heading home

road

the moon takes

the river road

winter night

iron

the iron

of a child’s will

monkey bars

hand

a tiny bird 

cold in my hands

night wind

tea

chai tea

an egret passes

between my hands

wait

the long wait

for a raindrop

cracked earth

thoughts

thoughts turn to butterflies seed catalog

nothing

winter river

the everything

the nothing

warning

today

 a lily bloomed

  freeze warning

flotsam

eventide

a shadow searches

the day’s flotsam

minuet

our

minuet

into

the

dark

kitchen

black

cat

churchbells

woodsmoke

the sound of churchbells

floating downriver

wind

wind shadows

what moonlight draws

upon my bed

within

a wren’s song

within the wind

new year’s dawn

mood

winter mood a poinsettia intrudes

eagle

christmas day

an eagle stops by

the old pine

last

the last pod   

among the lotus

christmas rain

river

a trail of song winds downriver kingfisher

time

only a cloud

comes and goes

hospital time
