fluidity

the rolling river

bobs and weaves through solid stone–

and comes out unharmed

when we roll with the punches

we wear down the enemy

Haibun: Stars

I’m following a trail into the woods tonight to get a better view of the moonless, starry sky without the light pollution from the city. It’s getting darker as I go, and my eyes are finally adjusting. I can’t believe how spectacular it is–the sky is beginning to look like powdered sugar spilled on black velvet. Venus is so bright, it’s actually casting a shadow.

If only my camera could do justice to this celestial extravaganza!

It’s so peaceful out here. The pines are like gentle giants swaying in the breeze under a canopy of dazzling stars. I can’t help but smile.

we’re made of stardust

ergo, our lives are truly

written in the stars

Lake Superior’s rocky shore–

What a wonder to explore!

morning sun so bright

it’s threatening to ignite

My Green Quarantine

It’s nice here

In the forest

Where the air

Is fresh and clean;

It’s all untouched

By human hands,

So natural

And pristine.

Isolated

In the woods,

It’s quiet

And serene;

My refuge

From the world,

It’s my green

Quarantine!

majestic, fearless

soaring, screeching, diving

not afraid of wolves
