Evening sky of fire
It burns then extinguished
By the rising stars

Waking to first snow
My heart soars as sun and sleet
Heat then cool my face

First freeze brings shivers
Warm summer roses fade and
Life rest  - come spring come

Reaching without fear
The wind of All Hallows Eve
Blows cold with goblins 

Bodhisattva mind
Like a thunderstorm cracks the
Small ego of self

Listen hummingbird
Your sweet hum vibrates my soul
Worry flies away

Symbols of faith held
Close in the palm of a hand
Seeking a peaceful life

Act one of summer
Performing a graceful dance
Two hummingbirds play

Echo in the wind
Repeat, repeat, repeat - act
Embedded silence

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
