Pursuit
With outstretched talons
The barn owl glides silently
Focused on it prey

Kilauea
Pele watches as
Pregnant clouds spill down over
The caldera’s rim
Memories
Lightning bugs at dusk
Their glow, a beacon for those
Seeking simpler times
Awakening
I took for granted
Always waking up next to
Your side of the bed
Caution
Lessons from the past
Harbingers of the future
We choose to ignore
Peep
The springtime wetland
Chorus comes alive at dusk
As the peep frogs sing
Hope
From the sheer cliff face
An eager seedling rises
Grasping at the sun
Walden
Through the morning mist
A wading crane, motionless
Suddenly takes flight
Beginning
Darkness enshrouds me
While subtle forces gently
Send me toward the light
Refuse
An old cigarette
And me, both discarded trash
That once touched your lips
