so many things

to have opinions on

yet as I drive along

I don’t arrive

at any of them

inevitability
yes of course there is
inevitability,
will it keep us together
or drive us apart?

is it the prize
of growing older
these vivid dreams
so much more dramatic
then what I do awake

the wind in the trees
reminds me
that what once was
so important
just passes by

A great big cloud formation over Flat Rocks from yesterday ... 4-4-15

branches over head creating a lattice to the sky ...4-4-15

A nest left behind from last year beginning to show through some of the threads and strings from the walk yesterday at the Cornell Botanic Garden.,. 4-04-15

Another pond at Cornell Plantations with ice slowly receding... 4-4-15

Looking through one fence at another fence reflected in a puddle with the sky and clouds 4-4-15

Along the walk a look into a puddle with some mosaic of pine and sky...4-4-15

late in the day the ground warmth was enough that the snow was unable to land there withoutout melting but on surfaces above the ground it was able to stay... that is my theory for this

little evergreen holding onto its snow covering ... 4-4-15

Yesterday at the Botanic Garden ... a look along the upper pathway...4-4-15

Another view of Ithaca Falls with a roaring, raging, torrent of snow melt furiously falling! The force of it all gave off a strong spray laden-ed wind... All the gorges are at high tide

Wondering if this is what
my parents felt,
in their own time
seeing a better past slip
ever further behind

the time
it takes
for the sea
to soften

beginning a walk
with no mind
for what was
or what will be
just what is…

from the edge
a lingering look
as if there might be
something in the water
to show me the way…

my youth spent
gathering the strength and solace
of friends,
these short years later
losing them one by one
