murmuring--

a dance erupts

skyward

questions tumble out--

the long walk to Emmaus

with Jesus

free to walk--

local turkeys

cross the back roads

waiting 

for intersections

a new at home

weekly mail--

the ghoulish postcard

for a Harry Potter fan

summer rain--

the rumbles of

a cold front

morning tea

to the song of sparrows . . .

saturday pause

mosquitos

suddenly in the woods--

summer rains

free range

children . . .

a worship style

jack-in-the-pulpit . . .

and still the preacher 

sings

night panics--

calmed in the dark hours

reading murder

mourning doves

on the neighbour's roof--

evening shadows

counting steps . . .

i'd rather count

falling leaves

harsh squawk--

the blue jay heard

on echo

cup of soup

our first church meal

together

63 . . .

few words

left to share

63 . . .

deep stretch

in my knees

63 . . .

summer heat

late in August

sunrise . . .

a faint glow

seeps into life

shaping words

to fit a pattern--

folk song

cricket . . .

a song in this morning's

darkness

heron

in the river . . .

lifts off

big picture--

then the long  walk

toward home

spring weather

living on the streets

with a blue tarp

a sparrow

lands by the church door

concrete search

skills

beyond the pandemic--

homemade pizza

a moment

sitting outside worship

a duck waddles by

trilliums

watching the woods

grow green
