Zion National Park
Red Rock Canyons Fill With Light and Shadows Rise to Move Across the Rocks As The Day Passes Canyon Walls Stand, Canvas for Always Shifting Light And Something Stirs in The Shadows or the Light on The Rocks or In Me -
Molten Sunlight Pours
Down Canyon Walls and Flows Out
Across Dry Stream BedsMolten Sunlight Caught
In Utah Alabaster
And Prairie FlowerMolten Sunlight Cooled
By Sapphire Skies, By Time, and
Laid in Sheared Rock Walls
-
Layer on Layer
Laid Down Over Time Beyond
Our Clocks and MeasuresWorn Away By Wind
And Water, Canyons Painted
Orange and Grey and GreenSteeped in Light and Dark
Time and Distance Are Dissolved
To an Ancient Calm

Sacred Light Rises
From the Floral Alter of
The Bee’s Cathedral

For my beloved cousin, Kathy
A Light of Kindness
Flickers Into Darkness And
I Can’t Catch My BreathThis Light Not Tended
But Not Forgotten, A Piece
Of My FoundationsBreathe I Tell Myself
Breathe. How Can This Hole Exist?
How Do I Go On?Breathe I Tell Myself
And All at Once, I Recall
All The Bright MomentsAnd I Know This Light
Of Kindness Will Burn On, A Bright
And Eternal Flame -
The Sound of the Wind
Tumbling Though the Tree Tops
And The Day’s Last LightThe Rising Chorus
Of Crickets From Just Beyond
The Reach of Porch LightsThe Feathered Whisper
Overhead as Silent Geese
Head Home Through The DarkThe Earth is Breathing
In and Out as We Count Days
And Years, Bits and BytesThe Earth is Breathing
In and Out, Inviting Us
Along, In and Out -
As if Opposites
Attract, Nature Paints in Contrasts
Pulling in Our Gaze
Freeze and Flow Winter
To Spring, Then Summer and Fall,
The Rolling Seasons
The Light and Shadow
Of Every Passing Moment
Still Life in Motion
And We Cannot Look
Away, As One Thing Becomes
Another and Returns
Rock and Water, Earth
And Air, Nature Sings Harmony
And we are Transformed -
One Plus One, A Spark
Breathes Light and Warmth, Tone and Sense
Across All These Years -
Morning Mist Rushing
Beneath Street Lamps Urgent and
Yet Ambiguous -
Green Leaves Gently Float
In the Heart of the Forest
On Pools of Sunlight
A Year in Haiku
