paint peels in layers
the old-growth is revealed
the trees remember
standing at the edge
where this beauty holds it all
my heart prayers set sail
some see it one way
while some see it other ways
the shift of a lens
lions on the wind
strength in those wishes traveling
heart’s desire grows
manzanita bells
and the hum of honey bees
music to our ears
build me a tree house
where I can dream the world new
climbing down to earth
a surprise to find
a little heaven on earth
stars among green pearls
doodles in the sky
writing skills where all can see
secrets of the heart
tight bud of winter
such possibilities
beauty and thorn wed
sometimes looking down
is all we might need to hear
whispers from the ground
the breath between storms
letting go of what has been
welcome what will be
oh son of our hearts
kindle our passion for life
follow this star path
Venus
stands still
and peers over my shoulder…
no other decorations
this orange orb of pure delight
the last persimmon
ease around the turns
no obstacles in your way
find your path in life
wonder when you look
this earth reveals secrets
a hidden world waits
the scent of yellow
and white wafts throughout the room
sunshine on a stem
little spot of red
shining for the world to see
mirror on the tree
Winter To Spring ~
Cold barren lifeless winter knows
The binding structure Nature holds
And from this place I yearn to see…
creatures one and all
raise your arms and show your wings
will you dance with me
