when i see a small rabbit or a buck with five or six does, a mountainside blanketed in fog, a delicate sunflower or the soulfulness of a long river valley, a wistfulness overcomes me

Beauty
inevitable decay–
in all of its tender beauty
Things I have always desired
a ship in a bottle
a small cabin hidden in a forest
a garden maze
a swing in the living room
a friend that is also a crow
a crystal ball
a bridge to another time
a ride on a paper airplane
a conversation with shadows
a working fireplace
a happy ending
What Summer Looks Like
summer looks like the tops of lush, green trees
and a steady dock,
the whisper of a flying finch,
and the setting of the evening sun
against the sweet smell of cut grass
New Things That I Like
an untouched notebook
the dawning of a day
a box of new pencils, or paints or crayons
beautiful new books
rose buds
a bright, blank canvas
sprinkles on a freshly baked cupcake
puppies and baby birds
new heels on old boots
Faces
those little purple faces smile serenely on the balcony–
while the geese fly and wasps dart and the frogs call out at dusk
The Pond
like a beacon to our senses,
the pond cast soft reflections of peace
Old Things That I Like: 2
cars from the 1930’s and 40’s
bottles filled with buttons
objects found in abandoned buildings
jelly jars as glasses
lockets with locks of hair
stamps on yellowed envelopes
chipped pitchers holding fragrant lilacs
photos in cigar boxes
rolodex rotary files
steamer trunks with hand lettering
thick, tall maples
bibles with scribbled family trees
barns on the pennsylvania countryside
