100 days…88th day
Shadows from a lingering sun
fade into dark –
falling cherry petals

black & white sunday: always there
a pheasant’s cry –
resounding in the mountains
the voice of silence
~Enomoto Seifu*
the voice of silence…always there…waiting

100 days…46th day
Gloriously
Shines the spring sun
A skylark soars
And sad am I,
Alone with my thoughts

black & white sunday: local watering hole
The source of water for the residents of Fort Collins, CO comes from large areas of land that drain snowmelt and rainfall waters to the Upper Cache la Poudre River, Big Thompson River, and Horsetooth Reservoir.
While walking around Horsetooth during this past winter, I was drawn to the composition of these elements of the shoreline… rocks, ice, water, and sky.

floating
This body
grown fragile, floating,
a reed cut from its roots…
If a stream would ask me
to follow, I’d go, I think.
