Wolf Moon

1/17/2025

I Saw
The
Full
Moon
Rise,
Winter
White
Against
The
Indigo
Night,
It’s
Glow
Of
Light
Dappling
The
Barren
Trees,
And
I Was
Pleased
To
Witness
It’s
Steady
Travel,
A
Galaxy
Of
Stars
Beginning
To
Unravel
As
It
Climbed,
The
Pocked
Expression
A
Tranquil
Smile,
Luminous
Over
The
Empty,
Vast,
And
Open
Miles.

Fragments
Of
Song
Are
My
Companions
All
Day
Long.
These
Vary
From
Rock
To
Bach,
Lyric
And
Rhyme
Keeping
Time.
Poetry
Of
The
Masses,
Refrains
Treasured
By
All
Classes,
Themes
That
Mean
More
Than
Most
Know,
Heard
Everywhere
We
Go.

January Pause

1/3/2025

Winter
Sky,
Cloud
Streaked
Blue
Of
A
Delicate
Hue,
Sleeping
Trees
Bare
Branched
In
A
Frosty
Breeze.
Below
The
Garden
Ground,
Round
Bulbs
Of
Daffodils
Recline,
Aging
Like
Wine,
Waiting
For
Warm
Spring
Sunshine.

The
Year
Plays
Out
In
A
Mist
Of
Frost.
Praise
For
The
Joy
Negates
The
Cost
Of
Flagrant
Loss.
Hope,
Always
Hope,
No
Matter
The
Odds,
Bearing
The
Whims
Of
Capricious
Gods
In
Some
Ancient
Room,
Carelessly
Bathing
This
Northern
World
In
Winter’s
Gloom.

*Head* Carved Colorado Alabaster 12" H X 33" Circumference* 3" H Ebonized Walnut Base

Tomorrow
Is
Winter,
But
The
Sky
Is
Blue,
And
Somehow,
We’ll
Make
It
Through
Until
Spring,
Despite
Everything.
Christmas
And
Another
Year
Ends.
I Will
Forgive
Again
My
Timeworn
Sins
As
I’m
Able,
And
At
The
Holiday
Table,
Join
In
Spirit
All
My
Lost
Friends.

Remembrance

12/13/2024

*Elizabeth's Rose* 12" H X 9" W Oil on Canvas

Flung
Roses
Of
The
Past,
Bright
Blossoms
That
Could
Not
Last,
Cast
Away
With
Vague
Thoughts
Of
Future
Days,
But
Lost,
Never
To
Come
Again
In
Time’s
Relentless
Spin.
Oh,
Disloyal,
Unaware
Of
How
Faithful
Deep
It
Was
To
Care,
Distracted
By
A
Shimmering
Reflection,
A
False
Direction,
Precious
Love
Caught
In
Faded
Flowers
And
Uncounted
Hours.

Fortune

12/6/2024

Fate
Swirls
The
Tealeaves
Of
These
Days,
The
Promise
And
The
Praise,
The
Dregs
Of
Destiny
Blend,
Descend
And
Fall,
Revealing
Patterns
Of
Despair
Amid
Joy’s
Brief
Share,
And
We
Are
Stranded
There,
At
Rest
Between
The
Unknown
Worst
And
Best,
The
Lost
And
Won,
Quickly
Rinse
The
Cup,
And
All
Is
Gone.

*Change* Cast Bronze 3 7/8" H X 2 1/2" W

The
Last
Leaves
Hang
Golden
In
The
Sun,
Autumn
Nearly
Done.
Today,
The
Chill
Breath
Of
Winter
Slides
Down
The
Mountain
Hills,
As
The
Desert
Town
Turns
Around
Into
Itself,
Closes
Summer
Gates,
And
Waits.

November Song

11/22/2024

Yellow
Elm
Leaves
Fly
Down
From
On
High
And
Hit
The
Ground
With
A
Sigh.
There,
They
Eddy
And
Swirl
In
The
Wind
To
Pause
In
Stacks
Against
The
Backs
Of
Far
Walls
And
Whisper
Rustle
In
The
Breeze,
Careless
Autumn
To
Please.

Nocturne

11/15/2024

*Rowing To The Moon* Digital Art

In
My
Head,
I Carry
The
Faces
Of
The
Dead,
And
Every
Night,
I See
Them
In
My
Dreams.
This
Seems
The
Cost
Of
Lovers
Lost
And
Words
Unsaid,
Of
Those
Once
Dear
I Left
Behind,
That
Year
After
Year,
Linger
In
My
Mind.
