With showers lashing down on bushy trees,
limp boughs grow thin as light dims

Willow

Weep for me

Willow

Beside the stream

Of my tears

Cry your oval leaves

Onto the dewy grass

And carpet my dejection

With your patient boughs.

Native Love

When the Easter sun
Glazes 
the leafy boughs 
With golden 
rays,
You remain in 
The tent of my brown 
Body, 
Wrapped around my shoulders 
Like true love

Four Seasons

A paean
for all seasons
memories 
of a summer song
to autumn's
golden boughs
through winter's
drifts of snow
and spring's
call of renewal
we are reborn.

On all our Christmas tree twigs
On the boughs and the sprigs 
Adorned with the presence of

Gently dancing out Their Christmas jigs

Nightfall In the Woods

nightfall in the woods
field mouse scurries on the ground
an eagle takes flight

snowflakes gathering
pine boughs droop beneath the weight
hatchlings to be fed
