Christmas is Coming

It's half time and I write.
Grateful this clear morning.
Going outside and am excited,
Merry Christmas!

Lilac Memory

Let's look at flowers.

Even though winter greets us.

With the cold shoulder.

Easy Attraction

Easy Attraction

I'm happy you're here.

I don't see you in the flesh.

Our love is alive.

Terminal Black Moon

 

Termination dust.

Winter winks and curls it's lips.

My city on the Arm.

Sun is Shinning

I'm heading out.

Running to the big ocean.

Far from any clouds!

July Endings

Mountains beckon us.

An impulse to go higher.

Climbing is a gift.

Darkness Ends

The breeze tells me so.

It is done and we've begun.

Healing forms a scab.

Timely Decisions

The sun can be cold.

Weighing movement and money.

Always choose the moon.

Happy Here

Blue sky and fresh air.
The cosmic cocktail we share.
Lucky to know you.

Witness Mars

We stand on the bluff.

Light shifts for daytime's ending.

Mars is witness too.

Poem for Festival

Pauline Street Garden 4/12/16

Yes

Sadness Left Future Right

Spring in Alaska

Fresh news

Sadness left

Youth disappeared

Future right

Study love

North revealed

Nature crushes

Moon Day

This is a photo of one of my teachers, Joel Deese and his wife, Bernice and their oldest son Steve. Joel Deese was a character and friend. He enjoyed my company and I delighted in his love of music and art.

Fire Monkey 2016

We're doing our best.

Forget winter marches on.

Hold the secret sun.

Bounty

Alaska is quiet.
This sense of place keeps me happy.
Sacred Sunday rest.

Buoy Navigation Mark

Northwest view points home.

Tidings of mourning shock hearts.

Music sails our souls.

New Year 2016

New Year started tough.

Chilly, windy, demanding.

Grateful none the less.
