Cascade of Water Light and Leaves

dance of light on water
a sensuous delight
absorbed by our sight
adds breath to inner light
enriching our deep waters
~

Day and Night

sunlight
gives sight to life's dance
mated with the
darkness of the night
essential both
elegance
and
rest

Oceans of Dreams

oceans of dreams
stir within the womb of a heart
given time on earth
we breathe life into them
rising to the surface
like tiny bubbles
manifesting with each shift in time
infinite potential

Perfect Preparation

Happy Halloween~


autumn leans toward winter
slowly pulling summer from my bones
morning eyes open
to a blanket of snow
clouds mingle with fog
mingles with fireplace smoke
summers celebration
of life
makes way for a quieter cloak
a perfect preparation

Lovely in the Grass

I could have flown right by you
the fringes of our spirits touched
I turned
and there you were
a pale golden beauty
blending with autumn grass
you turned
our eyes met
my heart smiled
you wandered on
~

I don't have the right lens for wildlife off in a field,
thus details are not grand.
It felt like a gift to see this wolf or maybe coyote.
It's camouflage was astounding!

Beauty Flows

elusive state of beauty

rightly thrives in the fluid of our bones
yet
last week I cried in beauties presence
one view: tears are quite acceptable
emotional tenderness
another view: tears reveal resistance of beauties flow
a stance of
mistaken feelings
or
beliefs
perhaps
neglected actuality
breathe
relax
open
remember
wander
long enough
beauty now flows

Mountains: Thrilling Presence

rolling down the road
to the land of majesty
and mystery
beauty huge and profound
slight tightening within
revealed as gentle tears
in the presence of a master
evidence of my beliefs
not in sync with mighty potential
absolute beauty

Rest

avoid living
theme of busy mind
as it fiddles with past and fantasy future
hearts wisdom:
conquer twirling scenarios
rest in the solitude of spaciousness
magic grows
~

walking in the woods this week
the quality of the air 'caught' my attention
immersed in a spacious feeling
there was no thinking
distinct realization of being in a living moment
filled me
along with a sense of being enlivened ~

Ice Crystals and Green

Ice crystals on green is a rare thing!

three mornings in a row
minus temperatures in October
-3F -4F -5F

have I told you
how I love
how I wait
for the arrival
of
ice crystals

this is early in the season
yet they grow

they grow through the night
glorified in sunlight
a magical delight

for me
what absorbs my attention
my heart
makes me forget that my fingers
and toes
are frozen
is a bit of life that has my devotion

Life as a Lucky Charm

talismans of a day

invigorating air
awesome light

leaves whirling dervishes amongst autumn wind
dragonfly wings frozen in time

blue sky beckoning play
within the colors of the day

elegant curving oak
grace is here to stay
days
overflowing with lucky charms
