when we try
every morning
to cross the
rocky way,
the beasts come without warning–
searching for their prey

the scarecrow
quit his post today;
now crows are
in the grain–
some folks say he ran away
looking for a brain

i look in
the woods with caution
to see what
i can see
and every so often
it looks back at me
–photo by me

it’s not so
much about what is
in the woods
on my walk–
what’s important to me is
that the world is not

i saw a
heavenly light shine
when i was
lost at sea.
was it truly light divine?
well, it was for me.

i’ll admit
it’s rather scary
when clouds in
life amass,
but storms are necessary–
and they always pass

emerson
once suggested that
the earth laughs
in flowers,
and it follows, i guess, that
she cries in showers

horses learned
to work together
a long, long
time ago
swishing flies from each other
as a quid pro quo

emotions
are distracting winds–
from the breeze
to the squall,
and resolution’s clearest
with no wind at all

comet neowise, 2020
a comet
suddenly appears
and we feel
a bit odd
because everyone fears
the finger of god
