A bit of blue peeks through
a sky covered
with slow-moving clouds
of dingy white and gray.
I catch a glimpse
of what lies beyond,
a constancy
that will see me through.

A Natural Nudge
Caught in an inner storm,
I almost didn’t see
the sun’s scattering of gold
among the swaying trees –
nature’s shimmering reminder
that there’s more to life than me.

In That Space
Catherine Arcolio’s blog, leafandtwig.wordpress.com,
joins image and word in a beautiful and often profound way. It is always a source of pleasure.
Something There Is…
Something there is about a mind
that doesn’t like to lie fallow.
From its fertile soil springs
all manner of confusing things.

Practical Navigation Skills
If all goes well
cars slow down, deer speed up
when they chance to meet
on country roads.

Mixed Blessing
Following the storm,
clear skies and cooler weather –
our first taste of Fall.

Without Misgivings
I want to wrap my thoughts
in a cloud of unknowing
and sit with them for a while,
then, one by one,
I’ll unwrap them and see
what wrapping and unwrapping
can teach me.
