After a busy day
rain’s gentle melody
soothes a work-worn soul.

The Field Within
The field within lies empty
waiting for something to sprout.
The growth that will come
was not consciously planted,
but I know the seeds are there.
In time I’ll know
what to weed and what to keep.

Full Strawberry Moon
Full strawberry moon –
best time to harvest wild
strawberries and dream
wild dreams. With mindful care
such moon-lit dreams bear sweet fruit.

Rather Than…
Rather than seize the day,
let’s greet it with an open heart,
cognizant of what we bring.

His Way
That squirrel didn’t mind
going out on a limb to
get where he wanted
to go even though watchful
crows scolded him all the way.

More Than A Glance
We exchanged a look,
that fawn and I,
and met in a sacred space
of mutual curiosity.

Those Trees And Me
I don’t know how long
those trees have stood together.
They were here long before I arrived.
Neither do I know the many
comings and goings they’ve seen
nor how much they’ve weathered.
I have been witness to
the community of creatures
who, like myself,
have found shelter upon
and beneath their welcoming limbs.
Though there’s much I do not know,
I know enough to offer thanks.
