Angels Abound

 

The clouds and the sky,

The rocks, the earth, the flowers,

And wind carry Love.

Modernity

Congenial mask

Blocks genuine connection:

Immersed in Kafka’s world.

Love’s Tree

Our first Christmas tree – Reno, Nevada – Monday, 17 December 2012

Branches hold such joy,

Each one telling her story

Of love unbounded.

St. Nicholas Day

December sixth brings

Hot coffee left at the door

And love and kisses.

‘Tis a Gift

 

Humboldt Street apartment - Tuesday, 4 December 2012

Humboldt Street apartment – Tuesday, 4 December 2012

Smells fill the kitchen –

Garlic and onions and beef –

Joy to cook for two.

Vestiges

Midtown Reno, Nevada - Monday, 3 December 2012

Midtown Reno, Nevada – Monday, 3 December 2012

Late Autumn’s cold wind

Whips around December’s edge

And Christmas shoppers.

Morning on the Street

Crisp December first,

Soul having flown suddenly

From the still badger.

Simple Joys

Cranberry orange

Baking as winter rain pours;

Licking the batter.

Unknowing

Fear, love – how can they

Exist side by side, like two

Who are close as breath?

Quiet

Only the distant

November neighborhood sounds

Break into silence.
