Of Two
```
Windy is the night.
The storms of passion
Turned out the lights
And the love and the dreams
Of Two.

Grey clouds cover all
In their world
As the rains fall,
Streaming down the cheeks
Of Two.

Between student and teacher

Feeding the earth      Becoming

New Year’s Eve – EvenSong

       EvenSong

Celebration     Contemplation
Transitions flame bonfire
Visions     pastPresentfuture

Overhead   South and West converge
Folding clouds at right angles
To screen the moon     Light
Increases shadows depth
Clarity penetrates midnight
Calmly birthing     Unease
       ---December 31, 1995

Paths I, vii

The cherished balance eludes us
   As the scales tip from right to left;
   Again we are disoriented,
   Vacillation leaving us bereft.
This chosen path of exodus
   From a life of material gain
      Is often hazardously steep;
      Methodically it must be tread
      To avoid the bottomless deep.
   With balance finally regained
We gaze at the Light around us,
   And succumbing to total strain
   Sleepily greet the warm falling rain.

“We hold the key”
```
We hold the key
To see the light
Of our past failures,
Yet we stumble through the darkness
Of daylight
Without noticing
Our shortcomings.

Autumn
```
I sit with autumn
Entering the prairie,
While spring is
Eternally reborn.

A tear momentarily
Distorts perspective
For departure
Looms on the horizon.

Metamorphosis

Halted during its slow journey to the other side,
A common turtle lay clumsily split in two.
His natural armor offered little protection
From Man’s four-wheel driven nightmare,
And he became just another unlisted casualty.

As the surging ocean’s unrelenting roar
Announces the arrival of land’s end,
A hummingbird prepares for birthing
By hurriedly picking dandelion seeds
To further warm her soon to be filled nest.
