centered in stillness
petals shape light and shadow
form becomes a star
Bird on an Island
lonely bird afloat
drifts on a frozen island
ice melts, time moves on
Imagine
imagine the world
seen through a butterfly’s eye
beauty magnified
Sunnyside Down
the sun descending
casting shadows long and vast
on sunnyside’s past
Picnic Shade
the pines lullaby
soft and low, a picnic shade
bathed in sunset’s glow
Silver Treasures
antique silverware
wrapped inside a baby’s bib
found when grandma died
Old Trucks, Young Trees
those who have a why
can bear almost any how
goals lead us forward
Flower Power
flowers in their hair
street theater spreading peace
all you need is love
Beauty & Benefits
glorious driftwood
a once strong, handsome tree,
now new life springs from thee
Calm Before The Storm
calm before the storm
along the marsh and tall grass
stillness has no name
Drifting Iceberg
from glacial shore stance
watching a drifting iceberg
float past frozen toes
Purple Coneflowers
you brought me flowers
rousing, passionate color
in my sleepy face
Southern Gothic
echoes from geckos
revivals, southern bibles
overgrown tombstones
