Feathers, Leaves, Sticks and Stones

Blown in by a dust devil...

Dancing dust devil spun
a small gyration of dust
carrying remnants of scattered earth,
leaving random odds and ends
on my upper floor unswept tile.

Reminiscent...

Whirl to my head feathers
a recent gust to soul
transporting fragments of strewn thoughts,
arriving haphazard sticks and stones
returning, requesting my mind's attention...

Blades of Brush

Wild grass against sky...

Blades of wild grass brushing,
cutting edges across firmament.
Sky blue,
Leaf green,
Sun yellow reflecting white...
Artfully composing teal tinged
portraiture of nature in miniature.

Guiding Light

There is no darkness at all...

Yahweh Rising

Fire on the mountain burning bush...

Sun Casting Golden

As nightfall descends on darkening high desert...

Wooden You

Rather not be fenced in?...

Espejismo Urbano

Poles and wires optical illusion in urban desert...

Hopi Maiden

Cool of morning, resting in prayer, with water pot...

Urban Renewal

Both sides of the tracks...

Heaven

Just got a little more awesome...

On the very day your ashes
were interred on earth,
dust to dust...
The sky emblazoned sunset
here on temporal terrain,
sunbeams though radiated...

Skyward kingdom rising.

You slept only a celestial moment,
then in a twinkling of an eye,
raising up met eternal heir...

Heaven
Just got a little more awesome...
