The 7th of May 2013

My Mountains in May

You are enchanting.
You are rolling, green laughter,

caressed by a cloudy cobalt evening.
I listen for the wind, during the rain, and after.
For you, I am thankful each day.

The 6th of May 2013

Photosynthesis

My mind follows the sun
from my small place, when day's begun.
Before the light, a prayer's said
to be grateful for what I'm fed.
The work grows, but my mind follows
the sun from East to West.  The wind billows
my loose garments.  My face-
to-the-sky, my heart-race,
runs and toes-spread-in-the-ground;
I take root,what home is found!

He's Sleeping in the Other Room

The sun, tide, wind, water,
Constantly rise and fall,
Be at rest,
now and,
always.
