winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Illumination
milky shafts of light
shine on the dust motes hanging
in the evening air
–
slow curls of smoke
faintly glowing
embers
Perspective
spying Earth from space
a hard reminder of our
insignificance
–
a sand grain
amidst the
multitude
Return
the clinking of ice
he signals the bartender
for just one more drink
–
false dawn
an owl returning
to it’s nest
Iron
toiling at the fire
sweat rolls off the smithy’s face
and turns into steam
–
wide oak boughs
shadows
cross the forge
Morning
concentric ripples
spreading across the surface
of a misty lake
–
lakeshore
a striped bass
breaks the surface
Daydreaming
the spinning wheel turns
fingers idly making thread
while the mind wanders
–
adrift
on a sea
of imagination
details
the weathered old man
makes peace with the universe
tending his bonsai
–
fiddlehead ferns-
seeking god in
the golden ratio
Direction
faintly glowing stars
the ancient light a missive
from the distant past
–
a moonless night
our path defined
by starlight
