late winter night
restless winds blow in
the open window
Leaves
should i rake leaves?
i turn another page
of my book
Motorcycling
late summer ride
sunset reflecting
in the chrome
Floating
open minded
not a single cloud
floating by
Wild
full moon
the wind whips wild hair
on our shadows
One
in a field full
of tiny purple flowers
i admire one
Old Friend
going out
to see an old friend —
hello moon
Bare Feet
sunrise patters in —
little bare feet on
the tile floor
(for Marcus & Lucas)
Tides
within the roar
of the wild tides —
a song
Blooms
spring storm
dogwood blooms float
along the curb
Raindrops
raindrops sliding
down the window
when did i last cry?
Dusk
purple dusk
a canoe glides across
the silence
(for dad)
Fence Holes
dog nostrils
fill the fence holes
evening walk
Ice Cream
summer is coming
the song of the ice cream truck
is growing louder
Moonshine
quiet night
drinking up the
moonshine sky
Cleaning
spring cleaning
finding last summer’s
dead flies
Nocturne
open windows —
a pianist sweetens the night
with a nocturne
Dance
may i have this dance
the sun takes my hand as the
breeze begins to play
River
in quiet moments
the sound of the river
surrounds me
Waves
oceans away
watching the waves of patience
rolling, rolling in
