Labyrinth
Shadowy vegetation surrounds a labyrinth in Phoenix, Arizona.
Deep in thought I walk
round and round the gravel path,
ignoring the sky.

Passing
The sky lights up over Wellton, Arizona on a late December morning.
Right after Christmas
bright sunrise marks the passing
of a tattered year.

Sunset
A December sunset dances through the sky of the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
As they cook supper,
no one in the homeless camp
admires the sunset.

Moment
A tree with no leaves stands at the edge of Willow Lake, Prescott, Arizona.
At any moment
a dove may settle to rest
in the leafless tree.

Changes
On a wintry day in the Sonoran Desert, storm clouds form in the east.
Winter afternoon—
one dove falling from the clouds
changes everything.

Blue Monday: Abandoned Motel
Graffiti defaces an abandoned motel north of Flagstaff, Arizona.
Graffiti mars the old hotel,
It’s feeling rather blue.
Is there some way to cheer it up?
I don’t know, do you?
~~ ## ~~
deepening autumn—
the longing of broken things
to be whole again

Awakening
When spring comes again, brilliant blossoms will open at Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
I dream of blossoms
awakening in springtime—
now a chill wind blows.

Watching
Snow will probably never fall on this Phoenix, Arizona yard.
Watching for winter—
how great my disappointment
when I see no snow!

Authenticity
Colorful aspen trees brighten a hillside in California’s Inyo National Forest.
Authenticity:
the aspens do not pretend
to be oaks or pines.

Whispering
Lockett Meadow Campground, Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona.
Among the aspens
a whispering of voices—
I am not alone.
