Invitations

the lake waters rise

from deep briny ocean bed

inviting swimmers

see the blue mountains

closely touching the skies, clouds

beckoning, come close

~O~O

cadence of water

rushing in, rushing out, rush

bouquet of flowers

Daybreak

sun stood poised on clouds  

rays of splendour on her cloak  

ready for new day

the tree stood erect 

greeting the bright morning sun

leaves, branches hushed still

Road

long winding journey

passing dark trees, rocks, valleys 

never a straight road

walk each step knowing 

consequences of choices 

choose your path wisely

Lost garden

flowers and weeds grow 

running wild with abandon 

over garden walls

lost, unattended  

nature weaves lush green colours 

overflowing land

Boat ride

boat coasting over 

blue water shimmering sky

rippling quiet day

daybreak horizon

preparing to sail away

to waters unknown

Shadow

i search the wide room 

under table, white closets

i could not find you

opening window 

twigs sway hearing evening's call 

a lone shadow leaps 

full pale moon in arms 

dancing red shoes on brown feet   

twirling out of sight

goodbye, full circle

we have come, until I see 

not a trace of you

Winter

cold blistering wind

blowing snowflakes and white dust

welcome winter land

trees wrapped like cocoon

animals hibernating

until frost, ice melts
