Red, molten morning /
Umber clouds seethe in the sky /
Umbrage at the sun.

Winter
Dusk hung in her mind. /
Blood red painted against the sky. /
Winter mood unfolds.

Morning fire
Fire wakes crisp fall sky. /
Morning cloud plumes like fresh smoke. /
Air cold as dead dreams.

Wrinkles
Blue haired old lady /
Streaks of gray and white abound /
Wrinkles fold Earth’s face.

The sky
Morning sky gives way /
to the sun’s rising thrust and /
fall leaf canopy.

Color the sky
Clouds color the sky /
Swirling high above the ground /
Sun rides the dark wires.

Fall sky
Bright light claims the blue. /
White clouds glow opalescent. /
Fall sky polished clear.

Butterfly
When I see a butterfly,
I think of you.
Not because you flutter
And onto other flowers move.
No, you are more steady
Than that,
A Gardner’s steady
In a wide brimmed hat.
Turning the soil
And amending where needed
So the butterflies will come
To the flowers seeded.
They know not the beauty
Of your touch.
Only the beauty
Of summer’s flower rush.
I think of you
When I see butterflies,
Fluttering up and around
Reaching for the bright blue sky
Then swooping back to your prepared ground.
.

Light
Light above, fall moon. /
Light below, waking street light. /
Sky and Earth greet night.

Bowl of clouds
The bowl of the sky, /
Nourishing heaven and earth, /
Overflows with clouds.
