Everything on earth and what is in space.
It orders the seasons and leaves that fall
And it etches furrows...

and salt pools like polished mirrors
give color to the desert 
and reflect the clear blue sky---
disguising with their beauty
the poor soil and salinity

Conifer sundials – mirrored shadows, slowly stretching, dancing, and then diminishing...

presences in moments tick

rhythms persevere

reverberating emotions tingle

soul pressure surges

sundials dance in resonance to sunrise

a captain's badge drops

memories unfurl as tomorrow glides on fragments of...
