They headed out
To sea,
Amid the rocky islands
Peppering the vista
As far as the eye
Could see.
And their hearts rejoiced
In the beauty
Of their spree.

To Sea
Beautiful
One For The Way

She knew when she opened the window
That day
That it would be
One
For the way.
The frost on the petals
The chill in the air
The way that stray branches
Scraped against the stair.
The breath of new winter
Kissing her hair.

To Be Home

To be home
Where the sun kisses
Blooms
On the sly,
And the buildings cannot
Hide reflections
Of sky,
Where new life bursts on forth
Undeterred
Joy unmasked,
And this moment
Outdoors
Is almost all one
Can ask.

Let Spirits Fly

Then
Came just the perfect time
For snowy charm
To let its spirits
Fly
On high,
And make the wind bend
Trees and
Set tardy leaves to
Sway
Astray,
As Fair Folk sprinkle
Flaky frost and
Set aflame a winter’s
Dance.
I am
Entranced.

Chill’s Reveal
Morning crept
With cold
Rays,
To frost dress
A new
Day,
With the chill
Soon to
Be,
Preview of
Winter’s
Fee.

Morning Calm

Soft ripples spread
Like ribbons of
Silk
As morning heads
Toward shimmering
Heat.
Note: The photo was taken in Ko Samui, Thailand, on an August morning. It was sublime.

In Two’s Company

They stand together
Fully dressed
Their branches interlaced.
The streetlight hugged between them
Like a child
Held in embrace.
Note: all year long these two trees appear almost indistinguishable. Then comes foliage … and with it a different kind of double take for the glory people see.

Royal Purple

Oh, you King
Of the branch,
Emperor of your
Nestlings,
Purple robe
Golden crown,
Your perch all
Pomp and
Whistling.

Summer Layers

Life is stacked like so
Many layers of summer
In the Central Park.
(Note: While I do resent the growing need to face reality of summer heading to an end, I accept the challenge for increased layer-awareness … 😉 ).
