She patiently waits --
Sleeps, even…
Yet with a nature to act instantly
Upon the descent of grace.
Wheels in motion,
The divine fiery thread
The end of ignorant *******

The first hummingbird,
The usual melee forestalled.
Long sips of nectar.
Others will come frequently,
Overcrowding the feeder.

Relentless Spring rains
Turn the garden into pools,
Soaking tender plants
Overflowing the gutters
And weighing down the bamboo.

A moss-covered tree
Guards the trail to the river.
Back-lit branches gleam.

Lenticular clouds
Quickly mask the mountain top
Morning chill persists

The press of the snow
Bent and broke the bamboo stalks
With hardly a sound

Sound of scratching nails
As squirrels race around a tree
Early light steals in

I came at first to feel some dread
When eagle wings rushed near my head
His haste forced him to drop his prey
Then move to branches overhead
I thought for sure he’d come my way
To find the prey he’d dropped that day
But no bird came, the prey was lost
And left for game to haul away
The next day came a heavy frost
The shallow creek could now be crossed
The snow clouds pushed their blackness in
Some broken trees an added cost
When snowfall starts and calm begins
I hear some chatter on the wind
An eagle family settling in
An eagle family settling in

Pale lit forest limbs
Like brush strokes from a palette
Wiped clean by moonlight.

The camp fire contorts
In a surprise morning wind.
Storm clouds mask the moon.
