the leaves at first light
takes off on wings of blackbirds
the tree stands naked

2019.03.04: bare woods
only in winter
when all our vanities
are gone
stripped of everything
that separates us
one from another
only then
in our nakedness
do we recognize each other
and for that fleeting moment
in the splendor of a new day
do we look like kindred
children of the dawn
2019.02.16: escape
small blue opening
sky covered with grey blanket
sun seems far away
2019.02.09: frozen
the shape of water
locked into chilly embrace
car’s windshield wiper
2019.02.08: dormant
ice covered surface
somewhere deep beneath it all
love longing to flow
Longing For Water
