Sun kissed leaves at the top of trees in the cooler air
where the hawk bathes his feathers
in the sunlight perched
on a large branch
sometimes stretching his wings
to scare the chipmunks
below.

A Piece of the Sun
Within the heart of our poetry
there is a light worth keeping,
a piece of the sun
to strengthen
and encourage.

I Was Lifted Today
I was lifted today by the opening of the tulips to the sun,
and later the rain,
the beauty
in their vulnerability.

The Sweet Victory of Hope
Each leaf takes its turn, dancing
in the sunlight, proclaiming
the sweet victory of hope
in the affirmation
of spring.

The Flow of the Winter Sun
When ice flow melds into the ravens’ wings, freezing
and hindering their hate
we will drape ourselves with immeasurable beauty
the pine trees magnificent,
the strength
of the colder air
and the peace washing us
in the snow,
all within
the flow
of the winter sun.

The Summer Light
The summer light seems so much more beautiful, streaming
through the coolness and comfort
of the dark forest.

Somehow Sunlight Flowed Again
He wasn’t exactly sure when his song returned
but it was there now,
filling his lungs, his mind
with a sense of wonder
dancing.
Somehow sunlight
flowed again
within his spirit as if
he had been
reborn.
