I hear the train chug
The whistle blows moving away
Quite nature returns

Shy white butterfly
Flutters on the mountain breeze
for a brief moment 

Sea's of peaceful thoughts
Under a river of stars
New friendship blossoms

Water gently flows
Giving life to sunflowers
My soul sits - tranquil

Insight from a pine
Each needle forming a tree
Sew one pine needle

Evening stars, I see
Black and white, absence and light
Delight flickering

Open to the path
The sun lights the way ahead
Clear of distraction

Let the flags announce
Freedom desires an open
Life seeking our core

I hear baby birds call
Revealing their hiding place
Hunger routs safety

Morning sun rising
A river of cloud flows down
to meet the basin

Deers graze in the mist
Hiding forlorn refugees
Trying to be free

Birds effortlessly
Ride out the storms of life
Absent holy fight

Longing for lillies
Barefoot in the baking sun
My soul seeks beauty

No aridity
Each shot to the soul, America
Lets love bleed and die

Flowers are silent 
Beginner's imperative 
Hear the flowers speak

Love the age of life
Seen in the star of roses 
Summer devotion

Yellow desert rose
I expectantly await 
You prickly beauty

Roses, Spring's pure joy
Bring evenings full of regret
that the sun will set

Warm colors of spring
Like roses bursting forth
Sing, life renewed

Coyote lurking
Predator eyes lacking fear
The roadrunner flees

Waking to spring snow 
Falling overnight and then gone
Impermanence so

Waiting for the bloom
Willing the rose to spring forth
In a color rush

Miniature flowers
Bring life to sparse arid land
Joy to all beings

Cherry blossoms bloom
Birds sing of spring mountain snow
In harmony flow

Blustering snowstorm
Birds cling incapable of flight
Daffodils lie down
