Nature poetry reflecting the spirit of the wind in the pine, sunlight
on the stream,
a deer's pause
in the bramble,
a pebble dancing in the tide.
I write to connect the natural world with the spirit world. The images of nature provide a bridge for the imagination and a leaping off place for the spirit.
All is God, whoever that is or whatever that means.
Excerpt
If the pines
keep their silence,
who can know
the secrets
of the wind?
The cry of a gull is lost on the ocean's breast.
A seedling dances the air.
