The Tree In the Midst

In the midst of the Garden
  was the Tree of Knowledge
                                 of Good
                                       and Evil
                   and the fruit thereof
                was beauteous ---
                  but it meant
                          Death                         it
                              to all                  of
                                     who partook

Precious Raindrops

Precious raindrops tumble down
weaving nature's beaded gown

Lilting breezes stir the air
braiding Gaia's silver hair

Bees and warblers hum and sing
when the snow caps melt in spring

Diamond streamlets dance along
with their tinkling crystal song

Waterfalls in feathered white
cascade from their noble height

Winter's chains all fall away
leaving life to build the day

Sky

Sapphired
       Kaleidoscopic
       Yawning

The Old Man Sea

the old man sea

the sea
the bay
now thickened with gray
from the death of the northern wind
     reveals his soul 
     with heartless roll
                       and the foam
                           on his grizzled chin

When You Love

When You Love
You break a heart
It is your own
Right from the start

The Morning of the Concrete Sun

The morning that my true love died
there rose a concrete sun
The clouds were stones
as were my bones
and my heart 
             weighed a ton

Snow Whispers

Snow whispers as it falls
gently filling mountain halls
Does it speak or even see
as it crowns the autumn tree?

Snow whispers as it flies
when it dots the feathered skies
Do you hear it when it cries?
for it weeps when spring arrives

The Sizes of Lonely

Lonely comes in three sizes
The pint is light and floats near you
The quart you must hold in your lap
But, the gallon is unliftable
   and it blocks all sunny paths
