Anniversary

I have seen love as lightening, Cried like thunder, Crashed over mountains to bring down rain, Heaved over oceans, ripped asunder, Left bleeding, sand on my knees. Love as a tree is always stronger, Bending supple, lasting longer, Quiet strength reaching downward, Grasp the earth between it’s feet, It does not cry out, But ties the earth…

Winter Morning

Low winter sun long shadows cast, Cuts through the Valley fog, Frost like snow upon the grass, And the sheep bleating for grain, Their work is in pastures below, So to my labors must I depart, The coast range glows gold and green, But in darkness I will return until, The longer light of spring.
