Night blooming jasmine
Unfurls delicate petals
Waking to the moon

Isolation
On a balmy spring night
Where the gravid pink moon
Pregnant with summer anticipation
Lumbers toward full
While upon the darkly fen
A sign language of love
Flickers in the misty umbra
“I am here”
Sign language of love
In isolated umbra
Fireflies flicker

Glimmer
Cascade of petals
Beauty in fragility
Glimmer of soft spring

Fifteen Days
Fifteen days
Of earthly quiet
Let healing begin
Awe
Virtual worlds collide
Airwaves replace touch
Community spirit
I am in awe at the resiliency and creative spirit that has come out of this pandemic. In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #224: Awe.
Signs of Spring
Reflective blue flash
A bird flies past my window
Happiness
Naturalist Shack
Where there was once a parking lot
An environmental education building
Now stands surrounded by a mass of water
As an ironic reminder
That everything is connected
and both actions and non-actions have consequences
Denial doesn’t change facts
Drowning in ignorance and greed
Climate change
Sea level rising
The naturalist shack
Returns to nature

Shoreline
The Point
A point of light
For a dark night and rough seas
No longer shines
We should all strive to be more Charlie. He was a true force of nature. RIP my friend.

Not Today
Waiting for high tide
To free me from a stranding
Wheelhouse of fortune
