there you were–
a beautiful red hawk
scanning the horizon,
registering our presence with
a cold, hard stare

A wish for the new year
a new year
with new paths–
filled with bracing snow,
soft blankets and days of laughter, good friends and good coffee
i want to be
the dust motes in the afternoon light
a highlighted sentence in a tattered book
the lost button in a warm coat pocket
a reflection cast from cut crystal
the dangling string on a colorful kite
Grocery Lists
What was on my grocery list:
milk
bread
cereal
fruit
butter
vegies
dishwashing liquid
tape
batteries
What I actually bought:
milk
bread
strawberry poptarts
tangerines in a small wooden crate
2 cans of tuna and
a green candle
Fog and Frost
a walk in thick, early-morning fog with icy frost clinging to webs and grass and leaves and burrs, cleared my mind of clutter
Here and There
I hope everyone in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I’m going to be taking some time off in the month of December, so I’ll be popping in here and there and hopefully be back to a full time schedule in January.
Be safe and warm and I’ll see you soon.
Lately
falling rain on mushrooms
black tea in the afternoon
tiny deer on tiny plates
yellow and red leaves on grass
cornbread in the oven
frost on the roof
Seasons
seeing everything traced in frost, gives one the courage to welcome the changing seasons
Dreaming
her eyes seemed heavy as they fell to the quiet and the warmth and the promise of delicious dreams
Autumn
if autumn were a woman,
she’d wear long flowing coats
and have greying amber hair
that would billow loosly out of a worn felt hat
