Finding my Focus

Waves beat the shore into sand, 
wheels of clouds darken the day, 
not one thing goes as planned.  

But a rock ledge offers a chair, 
I rest my feet close to the salt spray, 
and the cooling breeze lifts my hair.

On a Cold and Frosty Morning

February glumps and glooms. 
Evergreens don snowy costumes.  

Swansdown swirls in the frosty dawn, 
and the wind’s song is woebegone.

feeling the cold wind’s touch
each petal shivers

From Cold Spring Park, Newton, Massachusetts

in uncovered ears, 
ice-flakes tickle and tease
driven by bitter winds

when squirrels chase each other in

Hectic Mountain Laurel

spring blooming bush

The invisible spring wind
Shakes silky blooming branches
And tastes sweet flower petals.
The flower fairy fragrance swirls.
The tallest branches dance,
Encircle the sun, hug the wind.
