Yesterdays Light

Graceful framework

of decorative art clings

to porch rafters

that hold memories

of laughter and song

couples gliding

across the porch floor

enraptured in dreams

caressed by soft light

Newness

circle of life

held in my arms

welcoming

new beginnings

Sweet Promise of Re-birth

Slender Maiden

Slender maiden stretches her toes
downward toward the earthen snow
disguised within frozen sap this
slender maiden a debutante
sweetly dressed for this display
will bring forth smiles hidden beneath
her shield of bark
once warmed by firewood she emits
her gifts of aromatic maple sugar days

Stance of Orion

Stance of a giant

Warrior-hunter

Of the skies

His girth bedecked

With diamonds

Power without noise

He stands in watchfulness

To capture

Loose celestial stars

That run before his sword

Love

Love arrives

in many forms

friendship comfort in words

prayer and meditation

brings love's comfort too

May this world

so hurried, so angry

so saddened

Stop!

for just today to breath

in love swallow love

give love away

not physical but spiritual

thoughtfulness and caring

giving and sharing

one day of peaceful bliss

I wish for all humanity

on this St. Valentine's Day
