startling banals

On the waters edge
Earth escapes up to the sky
Gasping for its life

Outlines of islands
Merge with the cloud covered sea
Figments of the mind

Squirrel climbs a tree.
Playful, he peeks smug at thee.

The breeze plays temptress
in a deep cavern of stone
breathing warm music

playful little fawn
engaging, inquizative
as the day is long
-Lisa Gaye Suleski

rippling waters mark
the paddling webbed feet of ducks
silently they go
-Marcia Hunt

Unlike rocky road
the stream meanders smoothly
giving joy to all
-Mary Prince

Starbursts of sunlight
penetrate the atmosphere
bringing warmth and peace
-Deb Dietz

Sleek and silent cats
Watchful and alert they are
Patient and aware
-Betty Schwartz

waves come in to shore
on gentle breasts of gaia
sacred sun setting
-joyce watkins

She pushed her hand through
threads of dew-lit cobwebs that
glittered like starlight.

This is a silence place, a place of
dreams.You look up in the sky and
see what i mean.

Cows walk single file
across a snow field hoping
for greener pastures

peaceful and silent
all in the world is like one
untouched forever

Whispering winds sigh
with the heat of summer days
barely moving clouds
-MARCIA SCHECHINGER
