Staring into darkness and light, the night begins

to fade away, breaking towards morning,

I'm transfixed, watching the fish in the Pacific

through a mediated feed and screen -

My mind, swimming with possibilities before the day calls me in

Ripened red berries, weighing down the Rowan tree; birds swarming, beneath

Here, where seconds eat the day away, I am grateful for the way you shepherd the hours with neither venom nor malice, but only with patience of time's forever clock ticking in forward motion

That rainbow, stretching across house and horizon; Fall rain, arriving

for Algot

On a long walk through woods, I notice only your natural beauty,

but beneath your dress of wood and rock - your back now bent

from the burdens of time and use; our footprints, the weight of the weary,

long, now, these years, and also, worn down to fragile bone - you sigh the sigh of heavens

Desolation; a sad song the night wind sings before the mourning

When situated in a cozy corner, lit with book and a beer

A tender flower, grown, in glass vase, with beauty, but now bent, with age

Wandering the field, pondering the plentiful corn husks; a graveyard

Bricks, held tight with words

This tower reaches over voices, heard

Along the outlook of the valley,

speckled by hawks in flight

We walk by day; We write by night
