Balancing

I'm always amazed how leaves manage to stay attached to their branches

when the snow comes.

It's as if they've been surprised

but hold on all the same - and I marvel at their speckled beauty!

Presences

"Listen to presences inside poems.
Let them take you where they will.

Follow those private hints,
and never leave the premises."

Mirror and Face

"We are the mirror as well as the face in it."

Up the steps

I love going up these steps right near my home.

They lead me to all sorts of different walks.

 past the weathered grey fence

and then to choose where to go...

Looking up

In the dusk of the evening

"In the dusk of the evening, the bird of some early dawn comes to the nest of my silence."
