Like a nail clipping...

July 29, 2008

Like a nail clipping,
Waning crescent moon is cast,
In the eastern sky.

Up at crack of dawn...

July 28, 2008

Up at crack of dawn,
Peeing off of my front porch.
This is how I roll.

The swallows flew low...

July 28, 2008

The swallows flew low,
Over the pasture today.
Aerial ballet.

Kittens on the porch...

July 28, 2008

Kittens on the porch,
Wake, sleep, eat, play together.
Life is good in pairs.

The last of the moon...

July 28, 2008

The last of the moon,
Hangs high above the pine trees.
Birds fly between us.

Waning gibbous moon...

July 21, 2008

Waning gibbous moon,
Sails across the pink and blue.
Time is an ocean.

Like a hummingbird...

July 19, 2008

Like a hummingbird
She eats. And like that same bird,
She will fly away.

The dead have passed on...

July 19, 2008

The dead have passed on.
The living go on loving.
What else can we do?

Moon etched in the sky...

July 19, 2008

Moon etched in the sky,
Memories carved in the stone.
Nothing's forever.

Flocks of cattle birds...

July 17, 2008

Flocks of cattle birds,
Stream across the morning sky,
Dark against the sun.

Mourning dove and owl...

July 15, 2008

Mourning dove and owl,
Greet the rising sun today.
I stand alone here.

One more day, I find...

July 15, 2008

One more day, I find,
Myself alive and well here.
Life's a winding road.

Morning glories and...

July 8, 2008

Morning glories and
Sunflowers are together,
On the Wilson's fence.

Five white cattle birds...

July 7, 2008

Five white cattle birds,
Float slowly across the sky.
I stand on two legs.

What was simple once...

July 7, 2008

What was simple once,
Has become complicated.
Swim against the tide.

The hay field awaits...

July 7, 2008

The hay field awaits,
The first cutting of summer.
I wait and watch now.
