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.

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!

The Wind Spoke

Sitting on the edge of the water, watching the lines,
The wind spoke.
She was going on so wild the waters’ surface broke.
We listened to a couple yarns, and pulled tight our cloak.
It’s the kind of conversation that redefines.
