Haiku: Two Along Geneva Creek

Geneva Creek

 

the narrows stream flows
racing ranting raging rush
kisses frozen earth

The Narrows

 

mountain snow golden
Geneva shooting arrows
wing flutter stirs hearts

leaf fall carpets woods
quiescent hearts paint dusk blue
dark wings slice cool air

                                       wind tosses pine boughs
                                       whistling under the eaves
                                       cold lake loon echoes

full moon chases fox
chilled mountain shadows settle
among dried nettle

                                       feeling euphoric
                                       color splashes golden-red
                                       frost laden dreams call

wandering no more
festive souls come together
radiant bonfire

                                       defiant cold rain
                                       counts coup on secret lovers
                                       despite singing birds

memories bursting
laughing clouds crystallize sky
before drifting white

Ladies on Hemlock

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ladies wearing white
Hemlock sips Earth’s cool flowing
Hear happy birdsong

Life

 

Mallow flower smiles
Suckling wooded Mother’s love
Life balances death

Colorado Wild Fringed Sage

 

Earth offering sage
Sacred smudge smoke purifies
Great Circle lights us

hot sun laughs on water
jeweled sparks dance in your eyes
eagle soars above

A Quick One…..

soft warm rain patters
shadowed woods dawn golden mist
his eyes crystalline
