Small Villages

tiny hooded mushrooms                              tiny mushrooms
clustered like small
villages popping up
amidst blades of grass
giving shelter to
microscopic life
sheltered beneath them

#28 Small Stone: Promise

The hazelnut tree
now laden with
seed pods
brings the promise
of nuts to
offer
the blue jay
when
he visits later
this Summer

#26 Small Stone: Wondering

Thinking of you
wondering if there
is sunlight in
heaven to warm you
forever as you
lay sleeping

Last year my 18yr old cat Oliver went to ‘greener pastures’ as they say and this cat reminds me of him as he loved to lay on his back to sleep.

Raindrops

#23 Small Stone: Split Asunder

Trees split asunder by              
the weight of snow and
ice too great to bear
even the strongest of
giants is no match
for nature’s force

#21 Small Stone: Silent Tracks

Trains sounding in the                   
distance of darkest
night remind me of
how many tracks are
now abandoned left
silent without wheels
without destination

#20 Small Stone: Precious Energy

Electric lines carrying        
precious energy now
left lying in the snow
leaving lives without
heat to warm homes
disconnecting work as
our world becomes a
motionless landscape

#19 Small Stone: Frozen Images

Images iced and frozen          
held captive in a
storms frozen embrace
where time and the
cycle of nature only
will release them

#17 Small Stone: Peeking Sun

Sun tentatively
peeking behind
stormy clouds
parting just enough
teasing to warm
your senses
