Remembering 2013

All the memories
From two thousand and thirteen
And where to place them?

Time and Place

Blue spruce blue sky sun
Rising a snow storm coming
The depth of Deep Creek. 

Momentarily

Momentarily
Clouds broke and a wave caught
By the light of the moon.

Love Story

Ragged rocky ridge
Covered by a star blanket
Waiting for the the moon.

Step

Step when the path ends
Into thin air and follow
The flight of a bird.

Lone Leviathan

Memories and dreams

Of a lone leviathan 

Gulf Stream Consciousness. 

Way Down Up

Looking way down up
River high above a green
Tree remembered white.

The Rhythm of Shelf Mushrooms

Noticed the rhythm
Of shelf mushrooms clinging to
A decaying log.  

Dead Tree Standing

A dead tree standing
So alive in the forest
Surrounded by green.

Searching

Peeling away the
Layers in search of answers
Finding more questions.

Yellow Brick Road

The straight and narrow
The black and the white follow
The yellow brick road.  

Landscapes Prestine

With paint and paper
Destine for the dump thinking
of landscapes pristine. 

The Crossing

I traveled far to
The last tree by the river
Then I went across.

The Rocky Shore

On the rocky shore
Enveloped by the sea and
Wrestling with angles.

First Forest Leaves

Harvesting the light
From the early morning sun
Those first forest leaves.

Where the Marsh Grass Grows

Through the fields along
The creek just before the woods
Where the marsh grass grows.

Down Nicholson Lane

Tandem strip malls
And automobile dealerships
Down Nicholson Lane.

Two Opposing Shores

Above and below
The infinite space between
Two opposing shores.

Ali

Floating butterfly
Against the ropes, rope-a-dope
Jab, jab, stinging hook.

Bouncing Off the Blues

Bouncing off the blues
Finding things that are not there
Images after.

Looking Down River

Shadows dark and deep
A distant shimmering shore
Looking down river.

Winter Sunset

The departing sun

Buried behind bare branches

Colder with each breath.
