nature is art

nature is art

everything awakens

as the sun goes down,
ghosts gather

i watch the sun go down–
my breath hot on the wind
i watch the hawk ride the currents
and feel the earth slightly spin

carrying the rain, between the fog


against a winter sky

hiding in the snow

“I awoke and it was still dark. I lay there for a time reliving the dream, feeling other dreams stacked behind it.”
Excerpt from M Train by Patti Smith, 2015

the sound of crunching with every step
thinly woven snow blankets on all the trees
deep breaths in the bitter cold
warm grits with maple syrup
coffee with friends on a sunday morning
hot honey vanilla tea and books


This morning i walked outside and saw two mourning doves in the trees. There was also an uncharacteristically quiet blue jay flying about. It was early, the mist was rising from the snow. The sky was a light grey that contrasted with the tree silhouettes; nearly brutal in its definition.
It is a new day, what shall we make of it?
