the miracle of
watching her
     gently emerge

    transparent
red wing begins to
      unfold

Language


  Featured image: Sacred Rock

there are so many ways.
        language appears.
present and past tense, propositions,
        dashes, dots.
paint brushes
marvelous black marks
hand prints on a rock cliff,
        bears carved from marble
language has an incredible
language makes things
        present, personal, unique

Walking in Beauty

Walking in beauty

woods filled with beauty

early morning chatter

glitter in the grass

cool breeze touches

     my skin

filled with beauty

      deep breath

I Am Happy Here


 Featured image: Oh Happy Days

tender raindrops surround me

falling from the sky

I look up at the sky

the sky surrounds me

I am happy here

the raindrops are happy here

the earth surrounds me

music from the birds surround me

I am happy here

Simplify, simplify, simplify.”  Henry David Thoreau
