On my desk it gleams,
No bigger than a sixpence,
The reflected moon.

Atop our Parliament -

Just outside my kitchen window
Against a backdrop of dead leaves
And a threatening gray sky
Two tiny forsythia flowers
Nod in the wind and smile at each other
They seem to be saying
"We are . . . more

High in the Rockies
Blanketed now with snow
Often unmarred even by
The tracks of animals
Is the High Lonesome.
Late in the Spring
When the snow has melted
The meadows come alive . . . more

Now the snow covers everything.
As if nothing yet had happened,
And we may again begin to form
The guiltless snowmen of our deepest dreams.
And press the angels into unstained snow
Without annunciations . . . more

In the beginning was the sound of the rain.
In the beginning was the song of the bird.
And from the beating of the heart the drum was . . . more

Mauve and pink and gold
Painting the far horizon
Lady Diana
Only partially enrobed
Goes quietly to her rest

Once again we embark on a Holland America ship.
This time the Veendam is our home.
We're off to Alaska, our 49th state,
A long way from Texas to roam.
We soon settle in to the grand ship's . . . more

A golden blanket
Slowly covering my yard
Soon turning to brown
As the winter sleep draws near

The day dark as night,
Dark clouds envelope the earth,
Clouds rich and heavy,
Ready to release their wealth,
Liquid wealth for the parched earth.

God made the sky, the land and the sea.
And the San Juan Islands are the epitome
Of all that goodness rolled into one.
Especially great when you see the sun.

The two forsythia flowers
That lived outside my kitchen window
And shared a moment of their life with me.
Battered by heavy rain and wind
They went on their way.

This is as far as we may come toward Valinor
Just to these mists, but not beyond
From here, although they have forgotten us.
We will hear, if only faintly, when they dance.
And smell . . . more

Walking the streets
Of a foreign city
I am assaulted and confused
By sounds and language
That I don't understand
But then I hear
The song of a robin
And I am home again.
