Night Eyes

In the darkest night
Glowing rounds creep across fields;
Creature called Night Eyes.

Mother Moon singing;
Ethereal notes riding 
Silent silky breeze.

Colored tapestry;
Brightly painted planets dance
In black lacquered sky.

Flickering bright lights
Air dancing across the grass;
Fireflies in the night.

Weaving fingers play
Among windup dragonflies;
Cattails by a pond.

Home

Run over here come to me in this place
 where the creek goes between the woody hills
 and flows to the pond, where spiders make lace
 where the streams meet and come to end their rills

 Where the dirty old white horse takes his drink
 his tail batting away the buzzing flies
 and the sun

Cattails

I enter the solstice
to hear snow falling
where winter leads the way

Along a childhood memory
snow labored painfully
sweeping the landscape
with heavy shoulders
of white surrender

It seemed a great distance
from Grandmother’s house 
to the barn
where the icy sky 
bellowed a deep freeze
over shivering fields
of forgotten cattails
