wanting my old life
when I wanted
my present life
stirring the soup she made
as a cold rain falls outside

mid-stream the stones are in a balancing act

mid-stream
the stones are in
a balancing act

still standing by tom clausen

the script
of days and nights
listening to the creek
rise and fall
into silence…

at the edge of the creek holding on...

at the edge
of the creek
holding on…

Fall Creek, Flat Rocks, Ithaca, philosophy, photography, Plantations, poetry, rivers, spring, streams, sun, tanka, writing

my youth spent
gathering strength and solace
of friends near and far–
these short years later
losing them one by one

river of gold flowing with and toward the sun

river of gold
flowing with and toward
the sun

for over a decade
we’ve talked–
still you want our talk
as much as I want
the silences between
spool afloat  above and below the waterline

spool afloat
above and below
the waterline

end of the trail
the world
without humans
carrying a blur of blue sky , the stream enters a chute

carrying a blur
of blue sky , the stream
enters a chute

in the low lands the way nature shows us the way...

the river must make so many curves

the river must make
so many curves
to pass through the lowlands
the way nature always
says something to us
