Morningside

residing
in the shadow play
heron starts his day

The Long And Short Of It

the melt has started
but the freeze
hangs on

Comings And Goings On The Marsh

room for all
the hurried arrival
the leisurely stroll

Merger

in the current of cattails
ripples of blossoms
as meadow melds with water

To Come And Go

cold must rise in order to leave
every thing comes and everything goes
in nature’s design of time

River Run

Sunlight skates
atop the river
gliding on the cold
