Catch a waterfall in a paper cup

Hover at the torn edge

of mountain silhouette

Light arrows shoot east

explode through trees

Fire fingers stretch the horizon

stroke luminous colour 

on soft underbelly of cloud

Shadows smoulder above

Picture window frames one frame

more than the heart can hold

Good Things

Evening bike ride
in the twilight by the river
Blackbird singing
from the edge of the wood
Moon smiles back
and we thank the Giver
For every perfect gift
and all that is good.
