seeds we plant today

the light of the sun and moon

silhouette white oak

brace yourself here; now

playing in the waves, currents,

at the ocean’s edge

I was on my run

immersing in the moment

strength in this small life

the base of thirteen

within a rose’s petals

and talk of the birds

a forest burned shows

glazing ice on leaf and limb

with help you took off

pull that little string

revealing ancient forest

my canada jay

our lens can turn us

partially obscured by sky

destined for the soil

but I feel as if

but I was deeply shrouded

learning quarantunes

the currents of geese

of dancing curves of sunshine

due to gratitude

you reach down into

together like wolves that howl

in growth together

lift yourself with breath

orchid blooming for a year

don’t go unnoticed

you ensure the life

shelter me with your branches

and empty of self

why isn’t solstace

for receding from my path

be in quiet awe

my home has a guard

to the trees; magnificent

only roots remain

I see reflection

the weight gives way for the light

holding tight; reaching

there are days in which

and dip myself in the clouds

air, to tree, to air

do you like to think

flit, fly, jump, play — pierce the gray

to gossip of this

heart rate integrals

below the grasses of thought

a trickle, a gush

sometimes birdwatching

fill my soul with joy,love. In

to the morning beams

your presence brings joy

flowers’ beauty marks exist?

I awake in grace
