Afternoon Glow

It's the magic hour
when the day yawns wide
after a nap between long shadows.
A tide of translucent orange
seeps out from under the sculpture studio
while it waits for imagination to stir.

If you aren't paying attention
you will miss it,

Six-Point Visitation

In no hurry
a cloven step with purpose,
then another, delicately
and with precision
through quiet dignity and noble grace
to stop time in its tracks,
prompted me to put down my work.

Through no fear or hesitation,
a heightened presence...

The Wind Beneath Our Wings

I first met that Irish monk years ago on the sidewalk.
I was alone, hesitant, looking for belonging
It was just the two of us standing there before Mass
when I found myself disappearing into the vast recesses

  of his robe
lost in the most...

Granting Permission

Last Wednesday night a noble, epic,

  and wonderfully eccentric force left us.

  She was our Grace.

I remember her as a fixture in the chapel,

  always there, like a pillar,

  holding out a light for us.
Like a candle set there to...

Farewell to The Skipper

The sloop was ready, buoyant
quietly appointed into the familiar cove of a salty life
contained like a pearl
luminous, glowing
waiting for its purpose to be cracked open.
Decks scrubbed
fenders pulled up
hatch opened
sails unfurled and...

Like Chocolate for Love

We thought it was a bit odd

  that such a colorful and vibrant fellow

  would don with such enthusiasm and fervor

  the somberness of his own fashion quartet

  punctuated by solemn staccatos of

  swishing, humming, and scratchy dark brown ...

Rainbows and Ristras

It is time to put up the chili peppers you just brought in

  from the garden,
The ones which patiently waited with you to watch this

  years' very last streaks arc across the sky

  To dance with effervescent rainbows banded with

Why Gators are Hard to Know

It is hard to know where the bank of the marsh stops

  and the rising, rhythmed scales begin to tell their old

  story -

  plated, blackened, soaked in yesterday's rotted and

  pungent growth,

  kissed by minnows, and serenaded by...

The Coons and The Jewel Boxes

Over two days and two nights

  while trust and innocence lay together in dreamy

  slumber

  as the warming breath of air started to take on

  the fragrance of the season

  a rogue tide arrived un-announced from the Sabine

  like a...

To Nest

Heeding the call of the bell
which echoed against the forested walls of the valley,
and upon the welcome of the Benedictine monks,
I arrived to take refuge
for a spell.

St. Bridget's little abode found to be a timeless stone

  gem

October Retreat

The world has come to a stop and is waiting for me.

  Powdered mountains shouldering the sky

  tower over creek beds running low.

  Late Aspen, yellow popsicles standing stubborn

  against luminous groves

Can You Imagine

When we have arrived at the doorstep
of humanity's dark night
we must remember more than anything
how on effervescent wings
love can beam light into the darkest corner
that has lingered too long in murky shadows
to be rescued from itself.
