Small Stone 1.4.2012 Walking
on my morning walk

I pause in wonder

My Hand Rises
Waves
An energetic circle
My mind races
Back
Through all those years
The two of
You
My little girls
Growing away
Toward
What is now your
Lives beyond us
Still
There are visits
Hugs and laughter
Smiles
Of wonderment
And joy as my hand
Waves

PA Wed prompt – unstoppable
Once~
once upon a moon
tide rushed to fill the shore while
palms waved hush to stars

Whips of mist slip the edgy forest
creep ever higher, then faster
as if escape might elude their run
Regardless of how I glare and stare
form continues to dissolve into
nothingness beyond thin touch of sight
Leaving me again with wondering
leaving me to speculate about
my place to hide in the wood tonight.

“Prose is about something, but
poetry is about what can’t be said.”
W.S. Merwin
dragonfly
green-winged body
slender enough
to perch
on a single
fescue blade
invisible there
but for black-wrap
tail-tip and stripes
revealing
presence beyond

We Two
Walking through bright meadows
sheltering
beneath spring shade
falling in love
with shadows, the
blue bird call, a
hovering message beyond
words, in the space between
our listening.

Abundance on the Patio
Petunia blooms spill
over edges that cannot
contain such splendor
