Cloud dancing

Dancing on a cloud

makes you happy for a while

clouds are transient

Suiseki

A microcosm

shaped by wind, rain and time

immemorial

The fence

A fence may try

but nature will always win

you need a huge wall

Understated elegance

Creamy white petals

understated hints of color

sheer elegance

Ghostly apparition

Up from fallen leaves

a ghostly apparition

marks spring's arrival

Ethereal

Softly delicate

a gift from the universe

divine beyond words

Time to tiptoe

The answers are in

for some it's time to tiptoe

others time to howl

Alien life

Out of the night sky

ancient astronauts visit

why didn't they stay

Bonsai rules

Trained from infancy

branches are bent, roots reduced

keeping the tree small

institutions do the same

does the system need reform

In profile

A handsome profile

and a sign of affection

nothing but true love

Atlas shrugged

Holding the heavens 

for all of eternity

on just his shoulders

Equinox

Spring is finally here

it's time to put the leaves back

and sit in the shade

While running

While I was running

trees were frozen cold

I created my own warmth

Wake up call

The first day of spring

is close but it's not here yet

morning wake up call

The embrace

A loving embrace

for a new born
protected and sheltered from peril

Rise and shine

Birds begin to sing

blooms push up through last year's leaves

nature awakens

In a row

When your ducks line up

all's right with the universe

if they don't, oh sh!t

Saffron sunburst

A splash of color

across a barren landscape

it's almost springtime

Modesty

Harbinger of spring

a snow drop's heat, melts the snow

universal love

Dousing rod

Winter is waning

spring is around the corner

better times ahead

Yearning

A  creek meanders

through a barren wintry wood

waiting for robins

Twinkle, twinkle

When the night is dark

and clouds may cover the moon

look up, stars twinkle

Window to the soul

Stare at the image

and the image will stare back

lost in the abyss

Pure hope

Flowing saffron robes

the innocence of pure hope

strive to be mindful

Escape velocity

Arc, curve and ellipse

celestial mechanics

pure mathematics

Last Tango

Sensual movement

hot, passionate and precise

the music of love

Politics

Modern politics

a very thorny issue

handle with great care

Refinement

From a tangle of leaves

a splash of color emerges

good bye monotony

Nebula

Iridescent clouds

of dust and ionized gas

heavenly beauty

Beauty

Beauty is fleeting

we all have just a few years

spend your time wisely
