The natural world's
cradle and cure
*
It's coverings, it's creatures
*
that's where to
FOCUS
*
ground on truths that underlie
our pitiful human condition
*
When cities
swarms of people
politics and deceits
cruelties
defeats of compassion
overwhelm
be reminded, renewed, refreshed, reset
re-tuned to reality there
- only there -
Nature at Worst or Best
does not disappoint
*
Those stately storms that come and go
that robin returning to nest each spring
clouds in wonderful array
struggling
street trees
a night breeze
*
the fall arrives
golden leaves
turn
to rot
food for soil.
- all this and more -
How brilliantly
blue black sage bloomed against blood red
hollyhock
*
dear rock doves scratch for food everywhere
in cracked cement
*
undaunted
Ialanthus
shooting roots in all directions
throwing seeds in huge array
no matter whose intention to eliminate them from this
architecture
of stones
- all these and more-
sunsets
flooding eyes with last light
so many moonrise moments,
*
phase to phase
*
waxing or waning,
they delight
*
every thing
a
blessing
- all this -
everything
*
*
It's coverings, it's creatures
