Ancient
In the ancient sky, /
dancing through the fog, the moon, /
silently alone.

“Evening light”
Evening light
Evening light is on /
but any knock at the door /
will not bear your name.

“Splinters”
Splinters
Morning light splinters. /
Ground catches the fractured glass. /
Clouds and birds move on.

“Light”
Light
The daffodils and /
orchid bloom in the window. /
Light stained with color.

“Setting”
Setting
The Earth turns away /
Receding her face from light. /
Buds hold spring within.

“Contemplate”
Contemplate
The metal cock
And the small flower
Stood by the window
For hours and hours.
The cock could not crow.
The flower could not dine.
Still, very still, they had a good time.
The sunlight filtered through
The kitchen window stained glass.
They stood there in relief
As each hour passed.
Sadly, one day, the small orchid
Will be gone
And only the metal crow
Will silently carry on.

“Kindness”
Kindness
Kindness sometimes means /
ripping up what is there to /
reveal nature’s gifts.

“Crossroads”
Crossroads
At the crossroads /
crowds and opinions vary, /
even when alone.

“Bare limbs”
Bare limbs
Bare limbs cannot catch /
The falling sun, yet they hold /
Winter’s fading grip.

“Bells”
Bells
White bells of Spring ring /
quietly on quaint breezes: /
come, blueberries, come.
