watching signs of migration
geese call to the wind

course of life celebrated
from one season to the next

roots planted firmly

standing strong and tall with grace

pulse quickening with pure joy
when finally together

in his passionate cuisine

life beneath winter’s blanket
the promise of spring

rebirth, and hope realized
closer with each rising sun

reaching across space and time
glitter faint and bright

wonders of our universe
stars call to us in the night

what was new is old.jpg

what was new is old
brown leaves fall onto green grass
raking to harvest

gathered leaves added to mulch
new moon watches in silence
