Nature
falls
at hands of
indifferent
progress
The first cut
not the last

Prairie sky

river sky

city sky

my heart’s sky

June 25, 2016

Lady Sun
wrapped
in a hazy halo 
overlooks
a dawn
heavy
with the burden
of coming storms

June 23, 2016

River flows

to meet sky

sky flows

to meet river

June 22, 2016

The sky

is of two minds

this evening

brooding dark

encircles

the blue

raindrops

and

sunshine

June 21, 2016

Entirely surrounded

by an unforeseen flood

green still standing

but for how long?

The metaphor

seems

too easy

Will each of us withstand

our momentary deluge?

June 20, 2016

Nature makes
a stream
where there was none
her generosity
rushing
overflowing
will not
be diverted

June 15, 2016

Hope

is the blue

behind

between 

the gray

overlooked

until

most needed

June 14, 2016

Flash
then
the storm’s 
distant
desultory 
grumble
growls
and murmurs
without real heat
or force

June 13, 2016

Rain washed
and cool
the morning is
renewal 
the momentary peace
before
the day’s anger
gathers heat
before the wind shifts
and the storm 
regathers
its destruction
Our hope restored
fleetingly

High in

a blue sky

swallows stitch 

between clouds

their intricate

invisible 

embroidery
