arriving

blossoms on twilight sky ~
crisp, departing winter breeze ~
somewhere, a bird sings

summer

upon sunlit breeze
floating dandelion fuzz
bright summer seed

dancing pool

resonating rin~
ripples through the waning day~
dancing pool of thoughts

dove

scent of earth and water ~
grey silk summer afternoon ~
dove sings with thunder

mirror

glass lake calm and clear ~
burning with sun’s raging fire ~
mirrors of ancient sky

lilac

lilac scented dusk ~
cool wet grass between my toes ~
sweet spring rain

calligraphy

stroke across the sun ~
calligraphy of the clouds ~
pages of the ancient

silver

spring evening’s veil ~
sky woven with silver thread ~
yellow flower blooms

requiem

a cardinal sings ~
earth is born on winter’s grave ~
cheerful requiem ~
broken limb, gnarly tombstone ~
birth dances on death’s ashes

harp

upon harp’s blue sea ~
clear bell of diamond sun rings ~
spring sky sings its song
