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

Sitting in the snow
Meditating on whiteness
Blustering wind’s soul

Daffodil's first blooms
And the sounds of spring's delight
Air's sweet aroma

Mantel of our lives
Lift up cherished memories
reflecting friendship

Church mean in spirit
Spouting hate not love for others
What thistles you do grow

Lotus pond - nurse mind
Grown for beautiful caring
Body, mind, and spirit - ACT

Roadrunner perches
Excited by the blowing wind
Spots feast or fancy
