Drawn toward contentious gates-
Sharpened straight arrows...

Clearing to starters day,
Long waited shafts and  open slots,
Near mergents of lines....

Shafts of Light
shafts of light among taller, barren trunks
dogwoods  blossom, a herald
as the woods come to life

Listening to the rainfall
Keeping beat on the ground,
Many shafts of gray I see
Within the sky around.
The river had come back to the valley....

Sunset Ecstacy
Radiant sunset covers
Shafts of dimming colors
Awe of daylight jewels
Light beclouding visuals
A sight stunner of purity 
In belly of fledgling piety...

Sliding the jet black blinds
The shafts of light appear
A laser show on turf
Shines like a chandelier
A divine portrayal
Day starts with this premier

By calm childhood's brook, 
shafts of brash, slanting light  
shone through a dewy mist. 
From a stone, there I spied,
descending from a thread, 
dawn's angel from the dark....

Rainbow Light
Shafts of rainbow light
Poke through the surrounding trees,
The snow underfoot,
Just birdsong breaks the silence,
The woods fill me with magic.

early nightfall fondling skin
on glowing shafts from a world
so blind my body enters
cramps of memory

Sun Dance
Now,
In September,
When the morning is a vast awakening
Filled with orange clouds,
And fractured shafts of sun-shimmer
Descend before the earth
Am I too young to see the gods dance?
To find them I am inept....

Oregon Trail
In-pine-sweet air
In humus soil
Is where I rest, away from care,
And trail weary toil.

One morning feathers filled the air,
With wooden shafts that sped
And left this traveler to lie
With poisoned arrowhead....

Bluebell Woods
I walked into the lonely wood,
And stared about the place I stood:
The beauty of the tree-lined glade,
With shafts of light that pierced the shade,
All filled me with a sense of awe -
The bluebell carpet best of all!...

Shafts of brilliant light
Cut through limbs and boughs of blue
Seeking solitude.

Changes
Sunlight flitting through the trees
A laughing sprite on gentle breeze
The filtered dust on mottled leaves
A vision that nobody sees.

A dancing raindrop splashes down
The shafts of sunlight slowly drown
The dust a tiny river flows
The trees majestic in repose....
