River of Stones
~

A new year~still the words come

tumbling out~asking to be captured

no rest needed~life is calling

~

A blank page~asking to be filled

mindful moments all around

the change in me~deeply rooted now

~

A new year~ that new mindful part of me

brought along from the year just past

the journey continues~first step taken

Silvered winter sun
draws icy gossamer veils
across her setting face

Looking up at the cerulean blue sky
intricate patterns of cirrus clouds swirl
shapeshifters~silently creating wonderous sculpture
on their flanks a Crowned Crane rises

Nearing the end of the day~silver crescent moon sets
seemingly floating in a rose pearlescent sky
such beauty illuminates even the darkest corners

Brisk north wind whistles
ruffling my hair
above pines sway
singing joyfully 
leaning and dipping
enjoying the dance
