Under the jungle-wood
resting on the rock
we hauled down
from Jack’s Pass,
tree limbs hover low, and
.
brush my dirt-stained feet
as I stretch
into the mesh
of heathered sunlight
through the leaves.

Full moon lights pillows,
from the woods an old owl hoots:
whooo lights up your dreams?

And there was such a midnight
when the air took on a glow
and the sky began to loosen
and the dark was lit by snow
and the woods were sooner filled
with a whispering gypsy light
that danced across my footprints,
then covered them in white.

From a thunder sky
swish of singing silver rains
chorus in the woods.

. . . . (Winter Solstice 1996)
.
Bold colors fall like snow
through trees,
precipitations of sun
filling the tangle
of briar and wood.
A lone sprite sings
a welcome song
as ten white birds
swoop overhead,
their feathers spread
to polish
the lens of the sky.
