Marsh
among the rushes
herons stand in the salt marsh
waiting for the tide
–
auburn sunrise-
dawn breezes stir
fields of cattails

Reflecting
searching for reasons
why I blame everyone else
for my own failings
–
brooding skies-
trees reflected
in iron water
Rain
unexpected rain-
a brief but welcome respite
from the summer heat
–
clearing skies-
the gift of
a rainbow
Dawn
shadows of the moon
climbing down from the treetops
to hide from the sun
–
lakeside dawn-
eider ducks
begin to stir
Shower
passing rain showers-
steam rises from the asphalt
in the summer sun
–
soft patter-
august leaves
talk to the rain
bird
in a copper bowl
beneath a blooming dogwood
a robin splashes
–
sudden showers-
a crow flies
through the rain
Photos
dark attic corners
within an old cardboard box
dusty memories
–
summer boardwalk-
sepia toned
memories
Time
a rain-soaked highway-
the skeletal hand of fate
cuts another thread
–
trapped in amber-
mountains are as
grains of sand
Swim
well gone past midnight
swimming in the rain, lightning
off in the distance
–
scattered clothes-
midnight at the
swimming hole
Salty
seeing you again-
I add a touch of salt to
a long glass of rain
–
ocean spray-
saltwater
stings my lips
