these aspirations
to keep busy
doing nothing

late summer…
the trance of sun
on lily pads

 

 

late summer... the trance of light on lily pads
this quiet reach of trees and light...
in bundled bunches a mess of milkweed seeds ready to go....-
flowerfull display...
walking alone- submerged logs come to light ...

out of view
I read autumn poems
while my wife talks to a friend,
their light laughter
lifts me from the page

how easily
the cloud shadows pass
over the hills

 

 

country roads
Stevenson Rd. -- long look
country road ...
a dog barking... the road goes on and on
vines crowning a tall stump 9-2-16.
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15.
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15..
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15...
near the graves...the grain of wood comes to light...
the beauty of undoing a stand in time...

near the graves…
the wood grain on a fallen tree
comes to light
