At Kentucky Falls (Oregon)

Pink rhododendron
All alone beneath tall firs,
Blessing water falls.



Twin Kentucky Falls
Singing eternal duets,
Nature's sweet love songs.

-- May, 1992

Wake-Up Call

"You must change your life."
Rilke's words pierce my psyche.
Tears carry me home.

At Jack London's Woods

Woman walks softly,
Trail slips beneath graceful foot.
Forest pirouette!

-- March 1992 (Glen Ellen, CA)

Be Here Now

Think about the past,
Anticipate the future.
No longer present.

Trust

A shiver of fear
arrives with each act of trust.
Choose trust anyway!

Finding words for short poems.
Nature surprises!

Now

Pink dogwood blossoms
Awaken lost memories.
Past becomes present.

Forgiven

Whoever we are,
held in the embrace of God
All neck-deep in grace.

New Day

Open the blinders
and let the sunshine enter.
Blessing for your heart.

Alive

Bring no resistance
To whatever life offers.
Ease, lightness, and grace.

Awaken

What time is it now?
Poetry has no deadline.
Write when your heart speaks!
