“Nourish”

Nourish

A spring bird’s nest /

nestled among young blueberries. /

Life nourished twice.

“One foot”

One foot

One foot in the grave. /

One foot on today’s damp soil. /

Flowers gather round.

Smell the flower’s bloom. /

Hear the wisdom of no words. /

See and touch and be.

“Street seen”

Street seen

I wore shadows.

She wore light.

We met in the street.

The breeze played at painting us together.

The sun declined to stay.

For a moment,

As the light faded,

raindrops dappled, and the breeze whispered,

We were as one.

“Viewpoint”

Viewpoint

From a dog’s viewport, /

one dog to another,

summer is a rose.

“Reaching”

Reaching

The blue of evening /

cradles the quiet moon’s rise. /

Silent flowers wave.

“Early”

Early

Early are the winds /

when they are just a breeze /

building from a thought.
