River of Life

 

I sit along the river

running as she goes

listening as she flows

music to the waters of my soul 

her spirit permeates
thoughts they do abate
I let her jolly dance
be my only song
stilling inner waters

it is in the light of the sun
rocks the river runs among
ice tinkling in the flow
mix of air that is quite rarefied

 

symphony surprise
complete romance
a mundane stance
perfect stage
inner divine dance
gives rise

River Otter

 

Circling Circle

whirling

twirling

circling circle of

ice

dancing in the rivers tides

for now

the dance is in one place

yet mix of sun and rivers dance

invite the ice

to blend and find another form

later this day

we only find

that water flows

and ice no more

~

 

We stood on the bank watching this large circle swirl, round and round. 

On the far side we heard and saw a river otter. Both rare and wonderful sightings. 

We watched the otter and the otter watched us.

An Invitation

 

lie your head upon my shoulder
rest upon my breast
find peace within my beating heart
warmth within my kiss
release
embrace
this sweet sweet love
taste deeply
nurturing bliss

Bounty of Gold

in unexpected places
golden gems surprise us
and give rise
to the beauty
that lies deep within us
often found in our stillness
a bounty of gold
~

I have yet to capture the beauty of snowflakes
in a way that honors them.
Still these little piles of preciousness
charm me!

In honor of Valentine's Day,
may the spirit of love dance in your life.

Eternal Breath

I see you in a single crystal
in each and every facet
I feel you in a single flower
in each and every petal
you change my stance
with outstretched arms
of the branches of each tree
when the sun lights you
when the shadows hide you
it is in the essence
that I find you
you hide and thrive
within all life
planted in the seeds
and human heart
the eternal promise
of being palpable
for each to find you
to merge with
the
eternal breath
life

Shadows and Light

light of the sun
permeates your watery body
hidden treasures revealed
for a moment
a passing cloud gracefully shifts our gaze
resting on shadows
tis a dance of shadows and light
this life
a dance of shadows and light
