Winter Treewinter tree
scribble on paper
shattered glass
aging masterpiece
blood vessels
interrupted sleep
morning bed hair
porcelain crazing
drought dry earth
think quickly
fungal strands
frozen pond uh-oh
straw on floor
slept-in sheets
did I lock the door
letter from a pocket
can’t reach that itch
tickly cough
grandad’s skin
winter tree

Diamond DreamsTulips of morning
just waked from amaranth dreams,
meet glittering sun.
Dogwood rose opens redly
Pink dawn's jewel shines steady.
Beautiful flowers
respond to warmth's mute caress!
They're a dream come true
in varicolored versions
'ere dusk dreams, in beds again!

What we found along the way
it was an early april morning
the lure of nature called to me
the sun was out
the air was fresh
the road just beckoned me
faithful dog by my side
i grabbed my coat
and headed out the door
soon we were on our way
to claim a most idyllic adventure
serenity it seemed would tag along
and join us for not more than a...

Transient ImpermanentTransient Impermanent
cherry blossoms burst
a breeze scatters petals down
denuded branches alight
echoes of bells shrill
in quiet quelled silent shrine
no one ever came
empty teacup warm
with steaming curls baited breath
never rose at all
an old pine tree that
has seen it all befall before
still waiting for snow
moonlit pond reflects
a timeline, now intransient
none ever looked up
old pond ripples fade
the leap of a...

Little Wonders
“as we passed her she did wilt
which caused in us sense of guilt
since our stance perhaps did cause
to put her heart’s joy on pause
though we’re gentle, not hostile
we diminished her soul’s smile
since our aura as she viewed
scent of love did not exude
[]
She kneels by the river elegant and refined
Timeless beauty revealed as we quietly...

River ReverieAn old Mallard dines alone
A memory on the edge of the flock
A weaker yet still viable member
An inattentive sentry
Sifting grey mud
Chasing soggy bread crumbs
The sun warms his weary wings
As the river draws him away
A Great Blue Heron nods G’Day

Stormy King vs Solar Supremacy
The lightning, with flash and a boom,
Said, "I'm king of the stormy dark room!"
But the sun, with a sigh,
Said, "You're just a quick fry,
While I'm shining, you're doomed to consume!"

New Cracks in Old StoneNew cracks in old stone
Just beginning to show,
Reveals things never shown
Things only one could know
Just beginning to show
A solid surface scrambles,
Things only one could know
Shedding into shambles
A solid surface scrambles
Every chisel brings a change,
Shedding into shambles
In time, it must arrange
Every chisel brings a change
Upon hard - headed rock,
In time, it must arrange
For none can...

Hidden StarsI did not ask
for the world to stop —
just for the echo to answer.
but silence
grew its own wings.
so i followed
the quiet,
to the river,
to wild grass,
to birds that sing
before dawn.
there,
i learned something
soft and strong:
that I can keep walking
even if the stars stay hidden
Now—
I walk not to be followed,
but to feel the ground
under my feet.
To breathe
and know:
i...
