Insistent Sunrise

Prying up a cloud
A golden sun shoots a beam
Across steel-gray lake

Midnight Encounter

——

Under our skylight
Tree shadows lace pale-white light
As the moon peeks in

Floating Lanterns Under The Hedge

Fire flies await
A warm, quiet, romantic
Missouri evening

A Tiny Chapel

Under yellow leaves
Stained glass-like golden light
A tiny chapel

A Hike at a Bluff’s Edge

April 24, 2012
An apparent pause
Pulls the trail to the bluff’s edge
Ancient, carved limestone
Overlooking the river winding far below
 
Loose gravel invites a peek
Beauty fills with fleeting terror
In my throat
A metallic tingle holds me still
 
Behind and away the path descends
Through deep forest ravines
A lone woodpecker’s distant tap
Reveals a welcoming and comforting silence

Brick Patio

From my desk drawer archive:

 

Moss takes over as
One might who owns these red bricks
Always damp, shady
