a simplicity

from an utter nakedness

of aether and light

plan those garden beds

of this precious blue planet

now, take in more light

when you lean into

vibrato pierces the morn

at your ocean’s edge

vestiges of trees

shelter me with your branches

to your inner self

your life has texture

center on infinity

leaving playful trails

I try to let storms

break free from these tangled limbs

whispering of blue

reminders of love

like folded origami?

in a universe

this night sky that comes

change my radius of thought

wake me from slumber

lift yourself with breath

mandalas of all our time

raining from the sky

a vector on wind

revealing ancient forest

out of what remains

your palm faces down

the raw transforms to beauty

ev’ry living cell

who would have thought that

partially obscured by sky

ever evolving

tuck your babies in

in helical curls catching

that you are given

that forest fragrance

just keep going — it is but

to the summers end

it’s best not to see

whisper of white oaks and fir

utter abundance

that forest fragrance

hummingbird stopped me to talk

watch me; smile at me

this path is flooded

a thousand poems of you

the universe rounds

pondering polar

are now weeks past their season

prior to response

a beautiful Run

wrap and hug life that once was

tied for each refill

cherry blossom swirls

on the forest floor — I feel

iota of life
