Glimmer

Glimmer 18-142y

         -i-
Beads of dew
Hang like ornaments
Mini disco balls
Separating light

         -ii-
Micro prisms scatters
Sparkling rainbow
Each step
Retinal bliss

         -iii-
Blades of grass
Greenness gathers
Natures teardrops
Til spills over

         -iv-
Onto black boots
Coolness kisses toes
Startles warm veneer
Very dust of earth

Light

Light (18-013Z)

Fifty year old light

Hung in the room

Among the shadows

In the corner

Pull string pulled

Last time today

Ladder hauled in

Fixture screws removed

Cut around porcelain freeing

From years of paint

Wires cut

To the trash it goes

Remote control

LED light fixture

Adjustable intensity

Shadows cast away

Light Echoes

Colorado National Monument

          Light Echoes

Light echoes with shadows

Playful symbiosis upon ridge

Hues of reds and earth tones

Shifting as shadows dance

Scrub dots the horizon

Arid land accommodates a lifestyle

Nature conforms to climate

As Man modifies water flow

Harsh line at water's boundaries

Even as water flows below the surface

Water and life forged

Simplicity of contrast

Engaged in Early Light

         Engaged in Early Light

Fox moving quickly

In early morn' light

Snow floating softly

As he moves across snow covered stubble

Beauty of fluffy tail

Graceful movement

Efficient as continues quest

Present enough to observe what's around me

Light Absorbed

          Light Absorbed

Softness of morning air,
Gentle light absorbed.
Walking gingerly with no cares,
Creation meant to be adored.
Centered in calm,
Often find peace in storm.
Surrender and give alms,
In my daybreak norm.
