Lost ~ time behind

Long ago
the sun
rising and setting
had daily witnesses
life bustled
animals thrived
one could hear
laughter
and smell
sweat
from a hard days
work
people and animal were
married to this land
their bodies were made of the air they breathed
the soil that fed them
the sun that brought life
the rain that quenched all thirst
now
their bones
nourish the land that once fed them
the earth
is never lost
~

So tiny, so old, so many stories live in it's bones:

Life~

lost and found
one dies
another
thrives

cycles
and circles
only
now

She Exists to Dance

She exists to dance
an alchemist of her own
stance
the world
her palette
she is
mist
rain dancing through the sky
frozen
piles of snowflakes
gems of dripping ice
pooling
a lake
enhancing the beauty of rocks
underneath
She changes her form
with each partner
that surrounds
her

Recently I found the blog of Jennie Nash: Meet Your Muse. Her novel: The Only True Genius in the Family, was published this month! In celebration she is posting about artists; where they find their muse and inspiration. Jennie invited me to do a guest post this month, please visit to read my poem and see one of my favorite watery images: Dancing with My Muse.

Ice Crystal Morning

There is a spot in my heart
that waits
all year
for ice crystals
to appear
they grow
when all is just right
lighting up the world
in an
otherworldly way

Form

Love in the form of life

Life in the form of breath


Dance in the form of wind

Laugh in the form of a fawns prance

Flight in the form of a hawk

Growth in the form of crystals


Beauty in the form of a flower


Wisdom in the form of a tree

Patience in the form of a rock


Wildness in the form of wolverine

Serenity in the form of the rising sun


Bliss in the setting one


Drink in the form of a raindrop


Food in the form of a kiss

You in the form of me

Me in the form of you

All life in a single snowflake

then melting

to be born again

Textures and Life

without one texture
would life be the same

each and every
sound and scent
a part of every flame

we lean near
or shift far

we mix it up
make it our
way

with out
each texture
how would life
sway

A Wee bit of Magic ~

Yesterday,

Valentine's Day, I awoke to zero degrees F.
I had left my carrying cloth outside and went out to fill it with firewood.
I folded the ends of cloth over the wood and on top of the last bit of the carrier cloth;
ice crystals had grown over night in the shape of a heart!
Imagine my delight!

Let's Dance with the Heart of Hearts

back of the card:

Kara of Mother Henna hosted a Valentine heART card collaboration this season. There are twenty artists that participated.

First came the line drawing of the tree
I had it made into a rubber stamp.
Then I carved 3 planets into stamps and hand colored the tree.

Since the tree lives on our planet
my Valentine poem
is of a big
love
universal
more than a sweethearts
love
yet for me
living is an
intimate
dance

Some Days, Take My Breath Away

do you see the sky

yes it's way up high
hidden here and there
revealed when it's clear
sublime
winter sky
