Wedding Train



Shoulder SeasonNoon Osprey

I watch you gliding
     overhead
          eyeing your catch

I fish the ground around me
     reach for your wings
          fluttering

Twisting in your turning point
     Great Shadow
          you dive straight

into my embrace
     as you vanish
          into the Sun

leaving me
     smitten and bowing
          empty armed

holding only my
     breath
          and the blinding light.







September Communion

Our bare root vine
this past Spring's planting
- tended tendrils on the wire -

How is it that
your tapping flesh
knew where to find the well?

And June bud swell
could warm the sun
- while summer blew good spirits by?

Now, harvest rapt in bold delight
of tawny skin so roundly
bright, your cheeks
can touch
the sky.




Early Winter SnowPeonies

Two parties of little finches,
     excited by new fallen snow:

One flock feasts at the thistle feeder
     like a holiday family,

Another perches in the oak tree top
     like last leaves.

Then, on signal,
     they

Swoop up,
     swoop down,

Changing places.




Tree Heart

Passion springs from the heart of awareness
     and bathes the wide eyed soul,
flows with the tide of breathing
     embracing
          bright
               image less
                    whole.
