Zen Garden



I walk in stillness...

Earth's moist smell



Tiny plants

yet unborn

Live in nature's symmetry.



I move among them in reverence

and seed my spirit

in silent rows....

Winter




Seeds of winter

open slowly

Pulsating to the rhythm

of a dying star...


Gregorian chants

echo

Inside my soul...


Gloria


Receive the birth of winter

Rising on wings

of the frozen pine.

Excerpts from Obsidian Suns


* * *

Slip into the space

Between the wind

Where silence speaks

In gentle tongues


And dark moons

Caress the night

With laughter...


* * *


Wild birds laughing

In flight

Dancing.


They call across the heather

Spreading purple wings

And fly towards the sun

Turning into rubies and garnets....

~ Birds ~


Flight


Hummingbirds trace patterns of flight.

Wings move way beyond sight

To emptiness where forms seem to dance

And winds blow through feathers of light.



*********


Sleepy bird

Spreads night wings...

Tucks beak into back...

Asleep....


Quietly dreaming...

Tracing

Leaves in sand.....
