toadstools
on the fallen log
a chill drifts by
books and tea
a friendly visit
through time
a computer
folded away
meeting over
a purple haze
across the woodland fields
michaelmas daisies
reading history
alone in his den
words for the future
toadstools
on the fallen log
a chill drifts by
books and tea
a friendly visit
through time
a computer
folded away
meeting over
a purple haze
across the woodland fields
michaelmas daisies
reading history
alone in his den
words for the future
growing wilder
with each passing year
my garden
red
maple leaf fallen
jeans unpacked
minds
refuse isolation
zoom
chipmunk ahead
doubling back
suddenly
a longing
to see the big picture
a cricket song
thunderstorm
rumbles slowly through
cricket still sings
umbrella
raised for the long
walk home
sandpiper
the newly emerged island
gives rest for a nest
illustration
the final piece in telling
the story
still dark
the sun will soon reveal
my tea and me
thoughts
growing into
words
a sketch
tells the story . . .
page by page
a dog
ready for a greeting
short leash
walking sticks
propel me up
the hill
great blue heron
wading deep in the river
wide wings lift it up
