11.13.14 In "The Chilly Hours and Minutes of Uncertainty"

I long to be
in the warm hold
of your loving mind "

11.12.14 Leafy Haberdashery

Photo: I swear, when trees lose their leafy haberdashery, they become so spectral and intricate and full of beauty. Kind of essence-of-tree.

11.12.14 Slight Of Hand



On the way to a friend's, had to pull over. Jump out. And gaze.

At the big heavy storm clouds thundering past overhead.

The bright sunlight intermittently shining on one circumspect area, that would catch me by surprise.

Nature is full of the unexpected .

I suppose I don't anticipate ever living anywhere temperate, where the winds and rains and temperatures become predictable.

Seems to be nowhere in my genes;
unknown in my vocabulary.

And this?

Magnificence pulled out of the pocket,
slight of hand, by nature; ta da!


11.12.14 Starter Snow


Photo: In the conservation field, this afternoon. And tonight? Why; no biggie- but a few errant flakes of starter snow.

And tonight?
Why; no biggie-
but a few errant flakes of
starter snow.

11.13.14 For L.G. With Love


There are cats upon the counters 
there are paintings on the wall
While the sun shines through windows
casting light upon the hall

And the tea lends its aroma
you can smell within it all

And the jeweled chimes in the branches
sing the songs that come with wind
as the dusk descends upon us
and in the breeze the sleeping garden bends

We are aging as we're speaking
we are seeing what we've found
as we find what we were seeking
discovered deeply rooted in the ground
