The fools are certain

They believe only themselves

The wise have their doubts

 Sleeping while it soars

The frigatebird roams the sea

Pirate of the sky

 We two have come far

We must have a good fire here

Where we warm and sleep

 A thought about peace

What if no one could be wrong

Would we still have wars?

Silent companion

 Shall this spider live with us

Its needs are meager

 In lowness find strength

Roots give the trees their balance

Water smooths the stones

 The limbs beyond limbs

A child wonders at a tree

That reaches the sky

 The swarms are thinking

Shall we disregard the fates

Until they are wild?

 Chasing the sunset

Forty miles of gravel road

Dust and cares behind

Hypnos - god of sleep

Whose brother reigns over death

Whose child bears our dreams

 September transit

Midnight sky filled with migrants

Stars as their compass

 Colored by seasons

 I’ve been out in the weather

Lichen forms on me

The fruit yet ripened

 A noon star waiting for night

Patience in nature

From summer's closet

 Rustic vestments of autumn

Ready for dressing

 There don’t have to be 

So many situations 

Or conclusions drawn

Foundered vestiges

Lagan hoisted from the deep

Dripping memories

 I tried to train crows

So they would do my bidding

Alas, they trained me!

 Lovers in the sun

They know of no other world

Sharing the same breath

 Generosity

The wildflowers share their glee

And their seeds at last

It is always true

 (the one irrefutable thing)

It is now - is now

 Summer's fever broke

Wild asters linger alone

A cool twilight chill

 Of pride and power

The best measure of the man

Is made from below

 First, be curious

Then go out and find what's there

Accept the wonder

 White-sailed corsairs

With their rigs full billowing

Chase across the sky

 She can't help but run

The lawn under her bare feet

Then a somersault!

 Take morning outside

Find a grassy spot with shade

Watch the children run 

 Pilgrims and paupers

Sharing a fire by the creek

Mutton on trenchers

From the fields to you

Market bustle and bouquet 

Sweet corn and notions

Comes the bloody orb

An ecliptic shadow stalks

The wolf eats the moon
