Water jumping down
Steep slippery shelves of stone
Many ways to flow.
Shapes softened by time
Shapes softened by time
Each peak folds into the next
Endless horizon.
Poised on pale petals
Poised on pale petals
Butterfly sips sweet nectar
Harvest of summer.
Thick tangle of leaves
Thick tangle of leaves
Frames rain fed rushing river
Stone floats on water.
Clouds stitch earth and sky
Clouds stitch earth and sky
Soft cover for sharp mountains
Tinting with new dawn.
Brook ripples through wood
Brook ripples through wood
Flowers arch in silent dance
Sun floats on water.
To far horizon
To far horizon
Clouds gather over mountains
Lines of summer storms.
Paused between two hops
Paused between two hops
Perched on rock at water’s edge
A prince among frogs.
White hot sun rises
White hot sun rises
Searing hole through orange sky
Above shadowed peaks.
Winding through ripe leaves
Winding through ripe leaves
Water coursing in ribbons
Veins of green forest.
