beyond this life
that one old friend
I bump into over and over
promising that we’ll get together
again, someday

that line between reality and dream

that line
between reality
and dream

within the grain
of the table
a dragon

the constant design of everything everywhere

the constant
design of everything
everywhere

at the old parking lot
the sparrows bathe
in a big puddle
sometimes I’m so happy
just to be here as witness

breaking the reflection stillness  rain drops

breaking
the reflection stillness
rain drops

the farther away it gets
the more magical it becomes
those times at night
in the back seat ,
my parents taking us someplace…

a moment before our sun leaves us to another night...

a moment
before our sun leaves us
to another night…

in the hollow
at the base of the trunk
a seedling

always reaching for the light above

always
reaching for the light
above

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

 

the water in the tree, the water in me...

the water
in the tree, the water
in me…

another day
a few birds fly
across the sunset

a glance above into the story of autumn colors

a glance above
into the story
of autumn colors

potluck luncheon-
a yellow jacket cleans
its antennae

seeing this I realize the comfort of everything

seeing this
I realize the comfort
of everything

we raise our coffee cups
and touch them together
to hail the day

sun  turning the tree creatively...

sun
turning the tree
creatively…

photography, poetry, sky, trees

revealed so long
this grain of wood
on our floor-
the distance yet
we have to go

out for a walk to see what I could see... these trees

out for a walk
to see what I could see…
these trees
