June 24th, 2013

Tonight clouds concealed her beautiful face

but last night~ oh how she glowed

full and perfect she rose into a velvet sky

tree tops reaching as if to embrace her

she rose higher~ higher yet~ spilling silver

annoiting woodlands and garden

silently we stood~mesmerized by her beauty

Summer Rain

fine steady mist moistening the air

brief respite from hot days

we sip tea ~hands wrapped around our mugs

gazing out at the cool morning

filled with gratitude for this rare gift

Summer Rain

Tender slices of Apricot Kuchen

fresh from the oven

jaunty dollop of

whipped cream adorning it

melting delicately on the tongue

SIGH

Cowboy's line shack or old homestead

how many years have you endured?

Nestled beneath towering power lines

timeless reminder of a not so distant past

no doubt your occupants read by lantern light

and rode to town for necessities.

Early morning

I stand quietly

Birdsong welcomes the rising sun

Little Fox runs wild across the creek

I breathe

dark dream's weight lifts

flies away on sun-kissed wings

I smile

Once mighty oak

casts it's shadow

into the creek

reduced in size

yet still alive

does it see the change

or does tree memory

complete the shadow

to make it whole again

Cool morning start

Extreme heat wins

Our garden

green oasis

cool illusion

June 30th, 2013

Doing dishes, hands draw patterns

with soapy sponge, erasing meals

I daydream while Ming winds silky

figure eights around my legs~ so soft

blissfully purring~ a quiet moment

before her endless quest of exploring

all things UP resumes once again
