1
Rain is pattering
Shy fingers tapping the glass
Skylight ripples gray

2
This satisfaction
In a cup– bitter and hot,
Dark and sweet–coffee.

3
The year is well-worn
like a leaf tattered and torn
waiting for the snow

4
The soil and the sun
Warm my soul as this rich soup
A gift: nourishment

5
A calm afternoon
breathing in the lavender
brewing herbal tea

6
White birch stretches up
Elegant curves in the rain
Beneath the great oak

7
Gorgeous fading glow
gold vanishes into blue
behind shadow pines
