some of these rivers

within a rose’s petals

through the moon’s dim light

swimming in a sea

gardens smile at their presence

graphs of my being

oh my! look at you

look deep at your reflection

wrapping around beams

there you are, my hawk

cedars converge together

life’s intricacies

generative art

on the floor of the forest

strength in this small life

we architect webs

like the sound of waves pulling

tulips melt petals

an aperture formed

magnify, distort, and bend

and then sweep away

this colorful mist

of this precious blue planet

remember the sky

see the underneath

of this precious blue planet

of an inner light

in a full orbit

but let those volunteers grow

of your consciousness

life shows its beauty

run your fingers through this sand

as pink fades to night

like a fluffy whip

awareness of light; contrast;

turning in at night

a spiral beauty

little hummingbirds come, go.

fog rolls in like tide

seeds we plant today

reflecting from this good earth

the remnants of life

you swept over me

but let those volunteers grow

off of you in age

tuck your babies in

flutters and swirls before me

in hopes of french fries

how the light alone

that you stand alone out here

to be swept by wind

you were in my hands

with the magnitude of life

cradled by the Earth

cumulative drops

that provide us with brilliance

as I lean to you

cottonwoods have arms

find the space within your mind

in waves of cawing
