Voyeur at the glass

watching as I bathe;

crow on my skylight

peeking again.

The poem is entitled Tiger Lily

but the accompanying photo

shows a Stargazer Lily.

I am trying not to mind.

On the side of the highway:

a body of thick fur and flat leathery tail.

Why did the beaver cross the road?

I guess we’ll never know.

As long as

I desire you at bedtime

and you desire me upon waking,

I think it will work out.

A new beginning begins

Another old ending ends

A circle encircles again

Time encloses and bends

Reality is a dream awoken
Truth is perception spoken
Wisdom is a lifetime’s token
Grace is long love unbroken

Snow dances off my roof

wind weaves white ribbons of light

and holds aloft crystaline

 lace doilies.
