evaporation
I walk to the waters edge,
unintentionally
dislodging small turtles
from their precarious perches on the fallen branch
-their tiny splashes ripple across the dark water.
The scent of green vegetation
and still water hangs heavy in the morning air
fresh and sour
at the same time.
Tiny butterflies ring my head-
a halo of pale yellow wings.
The morning air is thick with humidity
and midges. I can see the vapor rise
from the waters surface-
evaporation, transfiguration,
transubstantiation.

deep blue
the air is filled with the scent of sleet
and fallen stars
Night Sky in Autumn
Evening deepens into twilight.
Sky feathers of profound blue
and downy gray
fly swiftly
in a declaration of wind and wings.
Echoing across the night filled cove,
wild geese rise from the dark water.
Blue
October sky –
can any other color be called
blue?

pale morning light
woven across a gray tapestry
mists on the water
hover in stillness

morning dance
wavelets dance
across the morning cove
skipping and hopping
with the cool breeze
playing ring around the rosie
with the shy sweet peas
sun burned

dawn
stretches
across the waiting cove
into the new day
*** the sun was such a deep rosy red this morning and sent the color all the way across the water to the porch. The photos don’t do it justice, but take my word, it was gorgeous! Have a beautiful day! K
A Summers Day
Ahhh, summer begins – and she arrived dressed in Queen Anne’s lace and wrapped in honeysuckle. Hope you have a beautiful season!
silver morning
seldom heard but often sung
the perfectly silvered song
of a spring morning
gilded with rims of highly polished light
till the melody is striking as wind
in chimes ringing
clear pure tones
crystalline dawn rises singing
to meet the harmonies of sapphire sky
and morning moon
enveloped into the chorus
of birdsong and sun
