Dance in the Light

Music, magic, gorgeous photos, moving words, this post has it all and more. Antilandscaper is terrific!

DSC09301-2 Hold Still
Stand in silence
Listen to the musical notes
As the first rays
Of the sun
Touch the sky
Unfolds a day
As the night’s dew
Descends to the ground

P1010917

Light dances
In color and shadow
With each moment
Until it fades
Beyond the horizon

Night skies
Star light
Light from beyond time
Beyond our imagination
All notes of a symphony

DSC05795a

Not to orchestrate
Just to listen

Negative Light Rays

Move softly
With all that is around
Of day or night
To dance in the light

Yellow tulips with pointy petals

Six-pointed stars
cup sunshine,
burning white at
their pointy tips. Continue reading →

Teachers Shine

tree with fairy lights

More numerous than
stars in the sky,
and burning just
as brightly,
our teachers help us
learn to shine,

Blissful blossom

Spring is magic on LavenderMoonGirl’s blog.

Lavender Moon: Artist, Poet and Lover of Nature

Blossom floats blissfully
Like gossamer,
Kissing our faces
With fairy breath.

On my walks now blossom is bountiful in wonderful rich cherry pinks to the most delicate whites. It is the translucent whites which I love to look up and see wonderful patterns and shadows and smell nature’s sweet spring breath. Magic!

Doorway to Spring

Spring woods through the framing of a divided tree

Glimpses of green
newly seen,
make my heart sing,
ah, spring. Continue reading →

Moon jellies drift,
pulsing and aglow,
in between
water and air.

Happy National Poetry Month!

Hello, Great Readers of our series! Just In case you haven’t visited before, let me tell you a little about A Great Nephew and A Great Aunt. My great nephew, Landon (a sixth-grader) and I (his great aunt) collaborate. I write a poem which he illustrates. We started this collaboration in the fall of 2014 and have had so much fun with it that we decided to invite others along. Landon and I will continue to have a new episode on the second Friday of each month. The other Fridays are filling up quickly with guests.

I have created a page on my website to view all the episodes of A Great Nephew and a Great Aunt. Click HERE to visit the page and enjoy past episodes.

Today it’s my pleasure to share a creative collaboration from…

Pause

Fritillary butterfly with black stripes and white spots

A moment to test the air,
pause and consider,
plan where to go next.
Is that a text? Dang!
Email skirmish,
phone rings, text again.
